Comparative studies of moderate and high altitude stress on humans: studies on plasma lipid profiles

Studies have been carried out on plasma cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acids and phospholipids of fifteen male Indian students at a moderate altitude (2200 m) and at a high altitude (5100 m). The studied plasma lipid profiles of the human subjects increased significantly at h...

Description
Summary:Studies have been carried out on plasma cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acids and phospholipids of fifteen male Indian students at a moderate altitude (2200 m) and at a high altitude (5100 m). The studied plasma lipid profiles of the human subjects increased significantly at high altitude in comparison to the moderate altitude. In the event of the process of acclimatization of the subjects from the high to the moderate altitude, the studied plasma lipid patterns reverted to the values observed at the initial moderate altitude condition.
