Leukocyte-endothelial interactions in environmental hypoxia -- Training at Altitude for Sea Level Performance. 6. Hypoxia training for sea-level performance. 7. The effects of altitude training are mediated primarily by acclimatization, rather than by hypoxic exercise -- High Altitude Pulmonary Edema. 8. Update: High altitude pulmonary edema -- Comparative Biology. 9. Phylogenetic comparison and artificial selection. 10. Genetic and environmental adaptation in high altitude natives. 11. Common themes of adaptation to hypoxia -- Erythropoietin. 12. Biology of erythropoietin. 13. Lessons to better understanding of hypoxia sensing. 14.

Transepithelial sodium and water transport in the lung -- Advances in Cardiorespiratory Control in Hypoxia. 22. Is ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia a phenomenon that arises through mechanisms that have an intrinsic role in the regulation of ventilation at sea level? 23. Roles of adenosine and nitric oxide in skeletal muscle in acute and chronic hypoxia. 24. The pVHL-HIF-1 system -- Frontiers in Hypoxia Research. 25. Interval hypoxic training. 26.
