International hypoxia symposium XVIII: 26 February-02 March 2013

Abstract

The 18th International Hypoxia Symposia, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, February 26-March 02, 2013, covered molecular basis of hypoxic responses (e.g., hypoxia inducible factor, nitrite, nitrate, and hemoglobin) and integrative physiology (e.g., exercise physiology, cerebral blood flow responses, live-high train-low, and population genetics). Free communications and poster sessions covered scientific areas from controlled lab settings to field settings of high altitudes (Andes to Himalayas). © 2013 Pun and Basnyat; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
