Effects of testosterone on cardiomyocyte calcium homeostasis and contractile function in female rats.

abstract：NEW FINDINGS:What is the central question of this study? The role of the cerebral haemodynamic response to either normobaric or hypobaric hypoxia in people susceptible to acute mountain sickness (AMS) is still under debate. Prefrontal cortex near-infrared spectroscopy-derived parameters were monitored in normobaric hyp...
