[The characteristics of iron metabolism and the function of the transferrin-ceruloplasmin system in rats with different resistances to hypoxia].

Alterations of the same type in iron metabolism and the state of transferrin-ceruloplasmin system were demonstrated in rats with high and low sensitivity to hypoxia in acute hypobaric hypoxia. Immediately after acute hypoxia a decrease of all the parameters of ceruloplasmin and transport was demonstrated. A stimulating impact of acute hypoxia on ceruloplasmin and transferrin synthesis was observed which was most marked in low-sensitive rats on the third day after hypoxia.
