“So is science” commented Rice and Gunga1 pointing to the fact that science is the interpretation of results, where it is easily possible to explain an experimental observation with different hypotheses. The more supporting parameters are measured, the more likely a hypothesis reflects the actual mechanism. Rice and Gunga1 commented on a study by Klein et al (not Mairbäurl et al!) 2 set out to provide more stringent evidence and mechanisms causing the decrease in total Hb mass after descent from a 19-day stay at 3450 m at the Jungfraujoch Research Station in Switzerland to test and strengthen the hypothesis of neocytolysis, that is, the selective destruction of the fraction of young erythrocytes, when EPO levels drop. This hypothesis, first proposed by Alfrey et al, 3, 4 was based on an upward deflection of survival curves of 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes after astronauts returned from space missions. It was concluded that this relative increase in the proportion of 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes, which at that time point represented a rather senescent erythrocyte population, had to be caused by selective removal of those erythrocytes produced after the labelling with 51Cr, that is, the" younger" fraction of cells (neocytes). 3, 4 The alternate hypothesis, lack of young erythrocytes due to a decreased rate of erythropoiesis subsequent to a decrease in blood EPO levels, had been put aside because it was thought to be" interminably slow," 1 whereas destruction would provide a means for rapid change.To our big surprise, our results indicated that the young erythrocytes produced prior to the decrease in EPO after descent from high altitude had not been destroyed but were well detectable in circulating blood. However, the fraction of the very young reticulocytes was missing. We concluded therefore that the quite rapid decrease in total haemoglobin mass upon descent from high altitude cannot be explained by neocytolysis (ie, lysis, destruction), but might as well be explained by decreasing the erythropoietic rate. 2 Our assumption appeared justified because a decrease in the
