title: 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate and night vision.
abstract: Recovery of night vision at altitude has been examined in relationship to changes of 2,3,diphosphoglycerate (DPG). It appears that, if DPG influences night adaptation, its effect is small. Inter-individual variability is large, both in terms of DPG and performance on the MESOP, the device used to measure dark adaptation.
