Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at how a reduction in oxygen levels (hypoxia) influences insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism. It is expected that 10 nights of exposure to moderate hypoxia (\~ 15% O2, similar to conditions at an altitude of \~7500 feet) will improve glucose metabolism.

Primary Outcome

Glucose disposal and oxidation were measured using a two-step hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp and indirect calorimetry.
