Effect of acute exposure to high altitude (Munich, 490 m, to Jungfraujoch, 3454 m) on postprandial plasma levels of cholecystokinin (CCK).

<p>Asterisks (*) indicate a significant increase (p<0.03) as compared with the preprandial values at 0 min and crosses (#) mean a significant (p<0.03) difference between the respective values at the two sea levels.</p

Influence of high altitude (Munich, 490 m, to Jungfraujoch, 3454 m) on postprandial release of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) peptides after a standardized liquid meal.

<p>Asterisks (*) indicate a significant (p<0.03) change of integrated peptide values ( = area under curve) as compared to the preprandial values. In the last column p - values mean a significant difference of incremental integrated peptide responses between Munich and Jungfraujoch. Incremental response represents the total postprandial peptide release.</p

Effect of acute exposure to high altitude (Munich, 490 m, to Jungfraujoch, 3454 m) on postprandial plasma levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).

<p>Asterisks (*) indicate a significant increase (p<0.03) as compared with the preprandial values at 0 min and crosses (#) mean a significant (p<0.03) difference between the respective values at the two sea levels.</p

Effect of acute exposure to high altitude (Munich, 490 m, to Jungfraujoch, 3454 m) on postprandial plasma levels of ghrelin.

<p>Asterisks (*) indicate a significant decrease (p<0.03) as compared with the preprandial values at 0 min and crosses (#) mean a significant (p<0.03) difference between the respective values at the two sea levels.</p

Effect of acute exposure to high altitude (Munich, 490 m, to Jungfraujoch, 3454 m) on postprandial plasma levels of gastrin.

<p>Asterisks (*) indicate a significant increase (p<0.03) as compared with the preprandial values at 0 min and crosses (#) mean a significant (p<0.03) difference between the respective values at the two sea levels.</p

Influence of rapid exposure of 11 subjects to high altitude on fasting plasma concentrations of gastroentero-pancreatic peptides and on acute mountain sickness (AMS) score at 8 a.m.

<p>Asterisks indicate significant changes as compared to baseline levels in Munich before the ascent (* = p<0.05; ** = p<0.01).</p

Effect of acute exposure to high altitude (Munich, 490 m, to Jungfraujoch, 3454 m) on postprandial plasma levels of neurotensin.

<p>Asterisks (*) indicate a significant increase (p<0.03) as compared with the preprandial values at 0 min and crosses (#) mean a significant (p<0.03) difference between the respective values at the two sea levels.</p

Influence of rapid exposure of 11 subjects to high altitude on stimulated plasma concentrations of gastroentero-pancreatic peptides and on acute mountain sickness (AMS) score at 8 p.m.

<p>Asterisks indicate significant changes as compared to baseline levels in Munich before the ascent (* = p<0.05; ** = p<0.01).</p

Effect of acute exposure to high altitude (Munich, 490 m, to Jungfraujoch, 3454 m) on postprandial plasma levels of pancreatic polypeptide (PP).

<p>Asterisks (*) indicate a significant increase (p<0.03) as compared with the preprandial values at 0 min and crosses (#) mean a significant (p<0.03) difference between the respective values at the two sea levels.</p
