Respiratory nitric oxide and pulmonary artery pressure in children of aymara and european ancestry at high altitude*
(CHEST, 2008-11-07)
Invasive studies suggest that healthy children living at high altitude display pulmonary hypertension, but the data to support this assumption are sparse. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by the
respiratory epithelium regulates ...
Evidence that parent-of-origin affects birth-weight reductions at high altitude
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2008-02-19)
Abstract.
Hypoxia exerts a profound depressant effect on fetal growth, lowering birth weight, and raising mortality risk. Multigenerational high-altitude populations are relatively protected from this birth-weight decline, ...

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, ...
