[Catecholamine metabolism in a high-altitude environment].
The function of the sympathoadrenal system (SAS) measured with respect to the content of epinephrine and norepinephrine in blood and urine as well as dopamine and DOPA in urine of mountaineers and athletes nontrained to high altitudes was examined. It was found that the mediator component of the SAS was activated in the athletes and that the adaptive capability of the SAS of the mountaineers was adequately high. It is recommended to study the SAS activity as a diagnostic test for measuring the fitness of members of expeditions in an unusual environment.
