Erythropoietin (EPO) in human milk : potential enteral factor in high altitude hypoxia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: Erythropoietin (Epo) is a normal constituent of
human milk. At sea level, it was found that mean milk-borne
Epo concentrations are within the normal range for plasma
Epo concentrations and rise with ...

(Rev Med (La Paz), 2017)
RESUMEN. El Síndrome de Down (SD), es una condición genética debida a la trisomía 21, caracterizada por afección multisistémica con principal daño neurobiológico. Se presenta con una frecuencia de 1/700 recién nacidos vivos ...
Divergent mitochondrial antioxidant activities and lung alveolar architecture in the lungs of rats and mice at high altitude
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2018)
Abstract.
Compared with mice, adult rats living at 3,600 m above sea level (SL—La Paz, Bolivia) have high hematocrit, signs of pulmonary hypertension, and low lung volume with reduced alveolar surface area. This phenotype ...
High-altitude hypoxia and echocardiographic indices of pulmonary hypertension in male and female chickens at adulthood
(Circulation Journal, 2014-06)
Background: By combining the chick embryo model with incubation at high altitude (HA), the effects of chronic hypoxia on fetal growth, fetal cardiac and aortic wall remodeling and systemic arterial blood pressure at adulthood ...
Factors influencing the use of biomedical health care by rural Bolivian anemic women : structural barriers, reproductive status, gender roles, and concepts of anemia
(PLOS One, 2017-01-26)
Abstract. The persistently high prevalence of anemia in rural highland Bolivia argues for targeted iron supplementation.
We evaluated the cultural, structural and behavioral factors that may facilitate or impede an
anemic ...
Programmation prénatale de l'acclimatation hématologique et respiratoire chez des rats de haute altitude
(Actas Club Recherché Clinique de Quebec, 2011)
Nous avons testé l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’hypoxie prénatale chez le rat aurait des
conséquences à long terme sur l’acclimatation physiologique à la haute altitude. Des rats
vivant en haute altitude (3600m, La Paz, ...
Adrenocortical suppression in highland chick embryos is restored during incubation at sea level
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2011)
Abstract.
By combining the chick embryo model with incubation at high altitude, this study tested the hypothesis that
development at high altitude is related to a fetal origin of adrenocortical but not adrenomedullary ...

(COLEGIO MEDICO DE BOLIVIA, 2016-02)
RESUMEN
Introducción y objetivos. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, longitudinal, observacional y descriptivo en el Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura donde se da a conocer la frecuencia y el tipo de cardiopatía ...
Exaggerated pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction in high-altitude dwellers with patent foramen ovale
(Chest, 2015)
There is considerable interindividual variability in pulmonary artery pressure among high-altitude (HA) dwellers, but the underlying mechanism is not known. At low altitude, a patent foramen
ovale (PFO) is present in about ...
Exaggerated systemic oxidative-inflammatory-nitrosative stress in chronic mountain sIckness is associated with cognitive decline and depression
(J Physiol, 2019)
Abstract.
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a maladaptation syndrome encountered at high altitude (HA) characterised by severe hypoxaemia that carries a higher risk of stroke and migraine and is associated with increased ...
