Abstracts
Peter Hochachka from Innsbruck 1991 to Peru 1996
International Summer Course Innsbruck. Calorimetry, respirometry, and biological energetics: from the organelle to the organism (1991) Peter Hochachka presented an “Overview of metabolic suppression in defence against environmental stress: the hypoxia example” - a 4.5 h talk. On the next days, full morning lectures were continued by Steve Hand (Anabolic and catabolic arrest during invertebrate dormancy) and Erich Gnaiger (Muscle and mitochondria at rest and work: Adenylate control and the concept of chemical reaction pressure). During the evening party of the last day, Peter’s enthusiasm caught everybody in an unforgettable slide show: A global perspective of environmental physiology – in the spirit of Kjell Johansen’s “The world as a laboratory”. The marathon lectures received an overwhelmingly positive response by the 55 students. With this in mind, Peter invited me to the World Congress of High Altitude Medicine and Physiology in Cusco (telephone call at 3 am), with the condition to join a pre-conference workshop in Machu Picchu with five participants: In a 4.5 h walk&talk up the Inca trail I talked thermodynamic efficiency [1] which he enjoyed (photo by EG), whereas Peter expanded on biochemical efficiency in Quechuas on the way down [2] which was definitely more ‘efficient’. Much later I received a surprising and disturbing letter, where Peter suggested a personal contract to be made: he or me – whoever may survive the other – should organize an event to commemorate the other. For more than a decade I kept this in mind. Outstanding events were organized in Peter’s name. I did not feel prepared to add something living up to his expectations. The emergence of a new ‘Comparative Mitochondrial Physiology’ is just right to fulfill my contract with Peter.
