Abstract
The administration of ribose raises the hypoxic threshold of mammals experiencing a hypoxic condition. The presence of an effective amount of ribose in the tissue of a mammal increases the tolerance to hypoxia and decreases the symptoms of hypoxia in mammals experiencing chronic hypoxia due to cardiovascular disease or peripheral vascular disease. Such mammals are additionally benefited by administration of ribose and a vasodilator or an isotropic agent. Mammals experiencing transient hypoxia from high altitude, anesthesia or exercise are also benefited.
