Abstract
The influence of simulated altitude of 500 mm Hg for 5 hr on the daily urinary excretion of acid mucopolysaccharides was investigated in 10 male adult rats. The simulated altitude applied for the first time caused a statistically significant (p < 0.05) increase in the excretion of acid mucopolysaccharides on the day of the experiment. The same trend was observed when simulated altitude was applied for the second and third time but the values were not statistically different from the control values, probably due to the small number of investigated animals. On the day following that of exposure to simulated altitude the excretion decreased to approximately control levels.
