| Description: |
Acute high-altitude hypoxia increases erythropoietin (EPO) and erythroferrone (ERFE), which suppresses hepcidin and enhances iron absorption to support erythropoiesis. Whether these responses to acute exposure persist in long-term acclimatized individuals remains unclear. We conducted a prospective comparative study in 80 healthy Peruvian women (plasma ferritin |
