Relationship between changes in serum erythropoietin concentration and changes in hemoglobin mass during “living high.” ΔHbmass, change in total blood hemoglobin mass; ΔsEPO, mean increase in serum erythropoietin concentration during 5 weeks of normobaric hypoxia with simulated altitude gradually increasing from 2,000 to 3,250 m of simulated altitude.
