Catecholamine synthesis and secretion by adrenal chromaffin cells is reduced in deer mice native to high altitude

This dataset accompanies a publication to examine how adrenal function is altered in high-altitude populations of deer mice, which have evolved to overcome chronic hypoxia in their native environment. High- and low-altitude populations of mice were each born and raised in common lab conditions, and then acclimated to normoxia or chronic hypoxia during adulthood. We then measured plasma catecholamine and corticosterone concentrations, adrenal chromaffin cell physiology and catecholamine stores, and adrenal gland structure. See associated publication for additional details on data and experimental design.
