INFLUENCE OF CHRONIC HYPOBARIC HYPOXIA UPON EXCRETORY AND IONOREGULATIVE FUNCTION OF RATS’ KIDNEYS

It has been established that the applied model of hypobaric hypoxia (equivalent to the altitude of 4,000 m and duration for 2 hours daily from1to 4 weeks) causes disturbances in the functional condition of puberal male white rats’ kidneys. The expression of these disturbances increases with the prolongation of chronic hypobaric hypoxia action. The maximum exhaustion of kidneys compensatory resources has been observed during the 4th week of the experiment.
