Hi DBers,
Some of you may be interested in my blood results after 20 days on the DIY hypoxicator. I completed 20 days of 1.5 hours a day. The 1.5 hours was @ 8%-10% FO2 and was made up of 5mins "on" / 5 mins normoxic repeats.
Here are the results
Item Before --> After
Haemoglobin 152 --> 154
RCC 5.26 --> 5.28
Haematocrit 0.465 --> 0.469
MCV 88.4 --> 88.8
MCH 28.9 --> 29.4
MCHC 327 --> 330
RDW 13.5 --> 12.7
White Cells 6.5 --> 7.5
Neutrophils 3.8 --> 4.4
Lymphocytes 2.0 --> 2.5
Monocytes 0.5 --> 0.4
Eosinophils 0.1 --> 0.1
Basophils 0.1 --> 0.1
Platelets 217 --> 208
Any comments/analysis on the numbers above would be appreciated
