Abstract
Summary
The extracellular space was studied in young adult males before and during acute exposure to an altitude of 4,300 meters, and also in a group of high altitude permanent residents. The results obtained indicate that during acute exposure to high altitude the sulfate space decreases 1.4 ± 0.2 liters (P<0.01) and that there is no difference between sea level and high altitude natives.
