Effects of a Glucose Meal on Human Pulmonary Function at 1600-m AND 4300-m Altitudes.

摘要

The effects of a high-glucose meal on pulmonary function were observed in seven healthy males at medium (1,600 m) and high (4,300 m) altitude. Thirty minutes after the ingestion of 410 kcal (109.9 g cerelose) of glucose, peak serum glucose values were noted with a subsequent decrease over 3 h to below fasting levels at both elevations. At the same time, triglyceride levels continue to decline from 104.2 to 83.3 mg at 1,600 m and 103.7 to 80.5 mg/100 ml at 4,300 m, with differences being significant after 2 h.
