Abstract
To test the hypothesis that the increased sympathetic tonus elicited by chronic hypoxia is needed to match O(2) delivery with O(2) demand at the microvascular level eight male subjects were investigated at 4559 m altitude during maximal exercise with and without infusion of ATP (80 mug (kg body mass)(-1) min(-1)) into the right femoral artery. Compared to sea level peak leg vascular conductance was reduced by 39% at altitude. However, the infusion of ATP at altitude did not alter femoral vein blood flow (7.6 +/- 1.0 versus 7.9 +/- 1.0 l min(-1)) and femoral arterial oxygen delivery (1.2 +/- 0.2 versus 1.3 +/- 0.2 l min(-1); control and ATP, respectively). Despite the fact that with ATP mean arterial blood pressure decreased (106.9 +/- 14.2 versus 83.3 +/- 16.0 mmHg, P < 0.05), peak cardiac output remained unchanged. Arterial oxygen extraction fraction was reduced from 85.9 +/- 5.3 to 72.0 +/- 10.2% (P < 0.05), and the corresponding venous O(2) content was increased from 25.5 +/- 10.0 to 46.3 +/- 18.5 ml l(-1) (control and ATP, respectively, P < 0.05). With ATP, leg arterial-venous O(2) difference was decreased (P < 0.05) from 139.3 +/- 9.0 to 116.9 +/- 8.4(-1) and leg .VO(2max) was 20% lower compared to the control trial (1.1 +/- 0.2 versus 0.9 +/- 0.1 l min(-1)) (P = 0.069). In summary, at altitude, some degree of vasoconstriction is needed to match O(2) delivery with O(2) demand. Peak cardiac output at altitude is not limited by excessive mean arterial pressure. Exercising leg .VO(2peak) is not limited by restricted vasodilatation in the altitude-acclimatized human.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
