Abstract

We studied immediate and delayed effects of hypobaric hypoxic stress experienced by rat pups in the early postnatal period on the digestive system. It was shown that hypoxia leads to remarkable changes in the functioning of the small intestine, as well as liver and kidney, especially in adult animals.
