Inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ɣ : a potential link between chronic maternal hypoxia and impaired fetal growth
(FASEB Journal, 2014)
Abstract.
Chronic exposure to hypoxia raises the
risk of pregnancy disorders characterized by maternal
vascular dysfunction and diminished fetal growth. In an
effort to identify novel pathways for these hypoxiarelated ...
Perinatal hypoxia increases susceptibility to high-altitude polycythemia and attendant pulmonary vascular dysfunction
(Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol, 2015-04-27)
Perinatal hypoxia increases susceptibility to high-altitude polycythemia and
attendant pulmonary vascular dysfunction. Am J Physiol Heart Circ
Physiol 309: H565–H573, 2015. First published June 19, 2015;

Graduated effects of high-altitude hypoxia and highland ancestry on birth size
(Pediatric Research, 2013-10-02)
Background: We present a cohort of ca. 25,000 birth
records from Bolivia of men and women who are currently
adults. We used this cohort to test the hypothesis that high
altitude reduces birth weight and that highland ...
Do cytokines contribute to the andean-associated protection from reduced fetal growth at high altitude?
(Reproductive Sciences, 2011)
Abstract.
Pro- versus anti-inflammatory cytokine balance is important for successful pregnancy. Chronic hypoxia alters cytokine levels and increases the frequency of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Multigenerational Andean ...
Potential role for elevated maternal enzymatic antioxidant status in Andean protection against altitude-associated SGA
(The Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2012)
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the uteroplacental
ischemia characteristic of preeclampsia and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth, both of which are more common at high
(>2500 m) vs low altitude. Since Andeans ...
Role of cytokines in altitude-associated preeclampsia
(Pregnancy Hypertens, 2012-01)
Abstract.
Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is more common at high than low altitude and contributes
to the altitude-related decline in birth weight. Since inflammatory markers are implicated
in PE, we asked if such markers ...
Neonatal oxygenation, pulmonary hypertension, and evolutionary adaptation to high altitutde (2013 Grover Conference series)
(Pulm Circ, 2015-03)
Abstract.
Andeans and Tibetans have less altitude reduction in birth weight than do shorter-resident
groups, but only Tibetans are protected from pulmonary hypertension and chronic mountain sickness
(CMS). We hypothesized ...
