Popis: Saliva was collected from six healthy young men at hourly intervals at sea level and after 1–2, 8–9 and 15–16 days at 4450 m on Mount Kenya for measurement of aldosterone (SA) and glucocorticoid (SGC, cortisol + cortisone) concentrations. Blood samples were collected simultaneously with some of the saliva samples and analysis of these showed that plasma and saliva concentrations of aldosterone and glucocorticoids were highly correlated (r=0.91 and 0.75 respectively;p
