      The reduction in infant birth weight and increased frequency of preeclampsia (PE) in high-altitude residents have been attributed to greater placental hypoxia, smaller uterine artery (UA) diameter, and lower UA blood ...
    • Uterine artery blood flow, fetal hypoxia and fetal growth 

      Browne, Vaughn A.; Julian, Colleen G.; Toledo-Jaldín, Lilian; Cioffi-Ragan, Darleen; Vargas, Enrique; Moore, Lorna G (Philosophycal Transactions B, 2015-03-13)
      Evolutionary trade-offs required for bipedalism and brain expansion influence the pregnancy rise in uterine artery (UtA) blood flow and, in turn, reproductive success. We consider the importance of UtA blood flow by ...
