Re-exposure to the hypobaric hypoxic brain injury of high altitude: plasma S100B levels and the possible effect of acclimatisation on blood–brain barrier dysfunction

Hypobaric hypoxic brain injury results in elevated peripheral S100B levels which may relate to blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. A period of acclimatisation or dexamethasone prevents altitude-related illnesses and this may involve attenuation of BBB compromise. We hypothesised that both treatme...
