2,3-Diphosphoglycerate and night vision.
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.
