High-altitude ancestry protects against IUGR and reductions in birth weight associated with high altitude and preeclampsia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background.
Observations consistently demonstrate diminished birth weight [BW] with ascending altitude;
however population comparisons reveal the extent of BW
reduction depends, in part, upon high-altitude ancestry.

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 ...
