Reduced endothelin-1 (ET-1) and elevated nitric oxide metabolites (NOX) across pregnancy among andean vs. european women at high (3100-3600 m) altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background.
A consistent reduction in infant birth
weight occurs with ascending altitude; however multigenerational high-altitude residents [Andeans] demonstrate a degree of protection from altitude-associated
IUGR ...
Aymara children are protected from high-altitude-induced pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Pulmonary hypertension is a hallmark of the adaptation to ambient lack of oxygen. This assumption is also
thought to hold true for high-altitude native children,
since invasive studies showed elevated pulmonary-artery
pressure ...
Gender differentiation of the chemoreflex during growth at high altitude : functional and nerurochemical studies
(Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol, 2000)
The effect of chronic hypoxia on
gender differences in physiology and neurochemistry of chemosensory pathways was studied in prepubertal and adult rats
living at sea level (SL; Lyon, France) or at high altitude (HA;
La ...

High-altitude ancestry protects against hypoxia-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Archives of Disease in Childhood-Fetal and Neonatal, 2007-02-28)
Objective: The chronic hypoxia of high-altitude (>2500 m) residence has been shown to decrease birth
weight in all populations studied to date. However, multigenerational high-altitude populations appear
protected relative ...
The role of oxygen in prenatal growth : studies in the chick embryo
(J Physiol, 2007-10-25)
The compelling evidence linking small size at birth with later cardiovascular disease has renewed
and amplified scientific and clinical interests into the determinants of fetal growth. It is accepted
that genes and ...
Effect of high altitude on protein metabolism in Bolivian children
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-08-01)
Abstract.
In Bolivia, malnutrition in children is a major health problem that may be caused by inadequate protein, energy, and micronutrient intake; exposure to bacterial and parasitic infections; and ...
Offspring of preeclamptic mothers are predisposed to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Adverse events in utero may predispose to cardiovascular disease in adulthood. In preeclampsia, the diseased placenta releases circulating vasculotoxic factors
that cause maternal endothelial dysfunction. These factors ...
Permormance of altitude acclimatized and non-acclimatized professional football (soccer) players at 3,600 M
(Journal of Exercise Physiology, 2000-04-02)
European football (soccer)
matches frequently are played at the international level in mountainous regions of South America. In this study, the exercise
response during cycle ergometry and the rate of football match ...
Absence of work efficiency differences during cycle ergometry exercise in Bolivian Aymara
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2004)
ABSTRACT.
This study tested the hypothesis that Andean natives are adapted to high altitude (HA) via high work ef
ficiency during exercise in hypoxia. A total of 186 young males and females were tested in Bo
livia, ...
