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 ...
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 ...
Pulmonary and systemic vascular dysfunction in young offspring of mothers with preeclampsia
(Circulation, 2010-07-19)
Background—Adverse events in utero may predispose to cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The underlying mechanisms are unknown. During preeclampsia, vasculotoxic factors are released into the maternal circulation by the ...
Augmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2009-02-20)
Abstract.
The effect of high altitude on reducing birth weight is markedly less in
populations of high- (e.g., Andeans) relative to low-altitude origin
(e.g., Europeans). Uterine artery (UA) blood flow is greater ...
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 ...
Normal hematological values for healthy persons living at 4000 meters in Bolivia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2001)
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 ...
Sistema adrenérgico en los residentes de grandes alturas
(Acta Andina, 1993)
Percent of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin among Bolivian aymara at 3,900-4000 m
(American Journal of Physical Anthroplogy, 1999)
ABSTRACT.
A range of variation in percent of oxygen saturation of
arterial hemoglobin (SaO2) among healthy individuals at a given high
altitude indicates differences in physiological hypoxemia despite uniform
ambient ...
Effects of hypoxia and hyperoxia of short duration on the pulmonary circulation of highlanders (HL) and lowlanders (LL) living at 3,750 m
(Progress in Respiration Research, 1975)
Summary.
We have done brief O₂ and N₂ inhalations in order to analyze the mechanism
responsible for the pulmonary artery hypertension observed at high altitude in
normal residents and newcomers. The reactivity of the ...
