It has been demonstrated that obesity produces insulin resistance, dislipidemia, high blood pressure and other metabolic alterations which are risk factors to develop atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. On the other land, chronic expossure to high altitude increases the insulin sensibility; the blood glucose concentration, total and LDL cholesterol are lower in high altitude dwellers than in sea level inhabitants, and HDL cholesterol is higher. Therefore, it seemed interesting to study the metabolic events in the obese people living at high altitude. A total of 41 male obese, aged 20 to 60 years, were studied; 11 living at sea level (Lima, 150 m above sea level) and 30 living at high altitude (Huancayo 3200 m above sea level). Oral g...
