Effects of acute hypobaric hypoxia on thermoregulatory and circulatory responses during cold air exposure
The thermoregulatory responses during simultaneous exposure to hypoxia and cold are not well understood owing to the opposite reactions of vasomotor tone in these two environments. Therefore, the purpose of th... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)
