Hypobaric versus normobaric hypoxia: same effects on postural stability?
HH deteriorated postural stability in the antero-posterior plane, for the variance of speed and the surface of CoP in 3 conditions, whereas no difference was observed between NH and NN. These results suggest that hypobaria instead of hypoxia per se plays an important role to the altered balance classically reported in altitude.
It was suggested that the proatherogenic effect of IL-18 is physiologically exerted exclusively with a high-fat diet through Th1 type immune responses, but not with a normal diet.
