Seasonal and circadian variation in salivary testosterone in rural Bolivian men
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2009-02-19)
Abstract.
Testosterone (T) plays a key role in the increase and maintenance of muscle mass and bone density in
adult men. Life history theory predicts that environmental stress may prompt a reallocation of such investments ...
Pulmonary-artery pressure and exhaled nitric oxide in Bolivian and caucasian high altitude dwellers
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2008)
Abstract.
There is evidence
that high altitude populations may be better protected from hypoxic pulmonary hypertension than low altitude natives, but the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. In Tibetans, ...
Protective effect of female sex hormones against pulmonary hypertension in Bolivian high altitude natives
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
There is abundant evidence that female sex hormones have protective effects in the systemic circulation in both animals and humans,
but little is known regarding their role in the regulation of the pulmonary circulation. ...
Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 M) residents in the absence of lung disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-04-18)
Objective: Chronic Mountain Sickness occurs in , 8% of the La Paz
population. We asked whether its primary diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP), occurred in youngeraged persons
without lung disease. Methods: ...
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 ...
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 ...

Abstract.
Vásquez, René, and Villena, Mercedes. Normal hematological values for healthy persons living at 4000 m in Bolivia. High AU Med BioI 2:361-367, 2001.-Defining the range of normal hematocrit and ...
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 ...
Andean compared with european women are protected from altitude-associated intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
(s.n., 2003)
Abstract.
Babies born at high altitude to long-term high-altitude residents weigh more than those of recent migrants from low altitude. Objective: We asked whether a gradient exists such that persons of Andean ancestry ...
