Metabolomic analysis of human plasma sample after exposed to high altitude and return to sea level.

ABSTRACT: When ascending to high altitude, it is a rigorous challenge to people who living in the low altitude area to acclimatize to hypoxic environment. Hypoxia exposure can cause dramatic disturbances of metabolism. This longitudinal cohort study was conducted to delineate the plasma metabolomics profile following exposure to altitude environments and explore potential metabolic changes after return to low altitude area. 25 healthy volunteers living in the low altitude area (Nor; 40m) were transported to high altitude (HA; 3,650m) for a 7-day sojourn before transported back to the low altitude area (HAP; 40m). Plasma samples were collected on the day before ascending to HA, the third day on HA(day 3) and the fourteenth day after returning to low altitude(14 day) and analyzed using UHPLC-MS/MS too
