Many of the physiologic changes that occur during acute and prolonged altitude exposure may actually negate adaptations that possibly improve physiologic performance upon return to sea level. Fourteen volunteer male students (male scouts) who inhabit at 1050 m were enrolled into the study to research; how mid-altitude affects some endocrine parameters. The basic evaluation was done before the camping at 3200 m, and the endocrine evaluation was repeated 10 days after, at the end of the camping. Volunteer students went through a general check up at the beginning. Blood samples were taken for determining the amount of growth hormone (GH), prolactine (PRL), follicule stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total triiodotyronine (TT3), total tyroxine (TT4), total testosterone (TTes) and cortisol levels. The levels of GH, PRL, FSH, LH, and TTes levels were changed after the camping period, and the difference found statistically significant (p |
