Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the role of the ACE (I/D) gene polymorphism on erythropoietic response in endurance athletes after natural exposure to moderate altitude. METHODS: Erythropoietic activity was measured in 63 male endurance athletes following natural exposure to moderate altitude (2200 m) during 48 h. Erythropoietin (EPO) levels and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations were measured at baseline and 12, 24, and 48 h...
