Summary
The purpose of this study is to look at how a reduction in oxygen levels (hypoxia) influences insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism. It is expected that 10 nights of exposure to moderate hypoxia (\~ 15% O2, similar to conditions at an altitude of \~7500 feet) will improve glucose metabolism.
