• Aminothiol multidentate chelators against Chagas disease 

      Deharo, Eric; Loyevsky, Mark; Christy, John; Balanza, Elfride; Ruiz, Grace; Muñoz, Victoria; Gordeuk, Victor R (Experimental Parasitology, 2000)
      Abstract Three compounds of an aminothiol family of iron chelators were examined for activity against trypomastigote (human) and epimastigote (vector) forms of Trypanosoma cruzi: tetraethyl and tetramethyl derivatives of ...
    • Hypoglycemia and the origin of hypoxia-induced reduction in human fetal growth 

      Zamudio, Stacy; Torricos, Tatiana; Fik, Ewa; Oyala, María; Echalar, Lourdes; Pullockaran, Janet; Tutino, Emily; Martin, Brittney; Belliappa, Sonia; Balanza, Elfride; Illsley, Nicholas P (PLOS One, 2010-01)
      Abtract. Background: The most well known reproductive consequence of residence at high altitude (HA .2700 m) is reduction in fetal growth. Reduced fetoplacental oxygenation is an underlying cause of pregnancy pathologies, ...
    • Lactate dehydrogenase changes in diferent tissues in a chronical hypoxia adapted rat strain 

      Rossignol, Fabrice; Clottes, Eric; Solares, Magali; Balanza, Elfride; Coudert, Jean (High Altitude Medicine & Hygiene, 2002-04-18)
      We have previously shown that the maximal anaerobic power of highlander-bolivian children is more affected by their nutrition status rather than by altitude. To further link these observations to molecular measurements, ...

    • Where the O2 goes to : preservation of human fetal oxygen delivery and consumption at high altitude 

      Postigo, Lucrecia; Heredia, Gladys; Illsley, Nicholas P; Torricos, Tatiana; Dolan, Caitlin; Echalar, Lourdes; Téllez, Wilma; Maldonado, Iván; Brimacombe, Michael; Balanza, Elfride; Vargas, Enrique; Zamudio, Stacy (The Journal of Physiology, 2009)
      Fetal growth is decreased at high altitude (> 2700 m). We hypothesized that variation in fetal O2 delivery might account for both the altitude effect and the relative preservation of fetal growth in multigenerational ...
