Abstract
We have examined the sympathoadrenal responses to both acute and chronic high-altitude exposure at the summit of Pikes Peak, CO, in both men and women. A dissociation between the adrenal medullary response (acute) with that of the sympathetic nervous system (chronic) is observed. Both alpha- and beta-adrenergic contributions to key metabolic and physiologic adjustments to high-altitude exposure are evident.Entities:
