Abstract

The effects of 10-days’ exposure to hypoxia in experimental rats is related to stimulation of erythropoiesis and changes in leucocytes response. Changes in leucocyte profile at altitude are followed by a decrease in leucocytes counts associated with an increase in monocytes and lymphocytes counts, and at the same time a decrease in polimorphonuclear neutrophils as well as eosinophils count. The observed type of adaptive reaction is qualified as increased activation, associated with mobilization of protective stress-limiting mechanisms.
