[Evolution of pulmonary diffusing capacity in man during high altitude acclimatization]. 1978

Pulmonary diffusing capacity (DLCO) has been measured at 3500 m in highlander and lowlander subjects. DLCO is more elevated in highlanders than in lowlanders. In these subjects, a transient increase of DLCO is observed during the first hours of hypoxia which is related to transient changes in pulmonary circulation.
