• normal levels of hematopoietic cells, including megakaryocytes, other than platelets under chronic hypoxic conditions

• under chronic hypoxia for 5 days
• reduced half-life of thrombocytes in hypoxic conditions owing to increased apoptosis
• normal platelet levels restored after hypoxia experiments when under normoxic conditions for 7 days
