Serum insulin, glucose, growth hormone and cortisol levels were measured in high school students living at Dead Sea level (390 m below sea level) and Amman (766 m above sea level) with 794.7 mm Hg and 697.5 mm Hg barometric pressures, respectively. A total of 54 and 50 healthy male subjects of age 17-19 years, having almost identical economic and nutritional status were studied. We found that serum insulin and growth hormone levels were significantly higher; whereas serum glucose and cortisol levels were significantly lower (p less than 0.05) for subjects at Dead Sea level than those at Amman.
分别在死海海平面（低于海平面390米）和安曼（高于海平面766米）生活的高中生中测量血清胰岛素、葡萄糖、生长激素和皮质醇水平，其气压分别为794.7毫米汞柱和697.5毫米汞柱。共研究了54名和50名年龄在17 - 19岁、经济和营养状况几乎相同的健康男性受试者。我们发现，死海海平面的受试者血清胰岛素和生长激素水平显著更高；而血清葡萄糖和皮质醇水平则显著低于安曼的受试者（p小于0.05）。
