Change in body water distribution index in infants who become stunted between 4 and 18 months of age
(European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2003-08)
Objective.
To evaluate body composition changes using bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold thickness measurements in infants from tropical areas who become stunted between 4–18 months of age.
Design and measurements: ...
Pulmonary gas exchange and acid-base state at 5,260 m in high-altitude Bolivians and acclimatized lowlanders
(J Appl Physiol, 2002)
Pulmonary gas exchange and acid-base state were compared
in nine Danish lowlanders (L) acclimatized to 5,260 m for 9
wk and seven native Bolivian residents (N) of La Paz (altitude 3,600–4,100 m) brought acutely to this ...
Salivary progesterone levels and rate of ovulation are significantly lower in poorer than in better-of urban-dwelling Bolivian women
(Human Reproduction, 2002)
Agriculturalists in less-developed countries (LDC) have lower progesterone levels than urban industrialized populations. However, it is unknown if urban LDC populations are also relatively lower. We tested whether urban ...
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 ...
Dopaminergic metabolism in carotid bodies and high altitude acclimatization in female rats
(Am J Physiol Relulatory, 2002-04)
We tested
the hypothesis that ovarian steroids stimulate breathing
through a dopaminergic mechanism in the carotid bodies (CB). In
ovariectomized female rats raised at sea level, domperidone,
a peripheral D2 receptor ...
Effect of menstrual cycle phase on exercise performance of high-altitude native women at 3600 m
(The Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002)
Summary.
At sea level normally menstruating women show
increased ventilation (VE) and hemodynamic changes due
to increased progesterone (P) and estrogen (E2) levels
during the mid-luteal (L) compared to the mid-follicular
(F) ...
Intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia, and intrauterine mortality at high altitude in Bolivia
(PEDIATRIC RESEARCH, 2003-02-18)
Abstract.
Infant mortality and stillbirth rates in Bolivia are high and birth weights are low compared with other South American countries. Most Bolivians live at altitudes of 2500 m or higher. We sought to determine the ...
Pulmonary nitric oxide in mountain dwellers
(NATURE, 2001-11-22)
Nitric oxide is synthesized in the lungs to help regulate blood flow, and its levels have been found to drop in
species native to low altitudes, including
humans, upon acute exposure to reduced
oxygen concentration1–3. ...

(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005)
ABSTRACT.
This is an international consensus statement of an ad hoc committee formed by the In
ternational Society for Mountain Medicine (ISMM) at the VI World Congress on Mountain Med
icine and High Altitude Physiology ...
