The effect of 14-day alimentary fasting on duration of cats stay at the 12-km "altitude" (till a respiratory standstill up to 10 sec) was studied as well as on writing performance of volunteers breathing with nitrogen mixture. The fasting increased the stay duration by more than a factor of 2 under the conditions of acute hypoxia in these functional tests. With subsequent feeding, the acquired resistance to hypoxia disappeared. The main physiological mechanisms responsible for the high antihypoxia efficiency of the alimentary fasting seem to involve a decrease of oxygen consumption in the organism and its delayed release under acute hypoxia.
研究了14天食物禁食对猫在12公里“海拔”（直至呼吸暂停达10秒）停留时间的影响，以及对呼吸氮气混合物的志愿者书写能力的影响。在这些功能测试中，禁食在急性缺氧条件下使停留时间增加了两倍多。随后进食后，所获得的抗缺氧能力消失。食物禁食抗缺氧效率高的主要生理机制似乎包括机体耗氧量的减少以及在急性缺氧时其延迟释放。
