| Abstract: | The content of ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in the erythrocytes of rats is increased on the 30th and 60th days of adaptation of the animals to hypoxia in a pressure chamber. By modifying the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen, these changes may play an important role in the improvement of the oxygen supply to the tissues.Laboratory for the Study of Resistance of the Organism, I.
