Metabolic adaptation
10 nights of moderate hypoxia improved glucose homeostasis in obese men.
Moderate hypoxia may be a potential intervention for improving insulin sensitivity in obese individuals.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
10 nights of moderate hypoxia (∼15% O2; 10 h per night) improved glucose homeostasis (glucose disposal rate [GDR] during a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp) in obese men.
Why this rating
The study design suggests a strong level of evidence.
