Developmental, genetic, and environmental components of aerobic capacity at high altitude
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1995)
Abstract.
The aerobic capacity of 268 subjects (158 males and 110 females) was evaluated in La Paz, Bolivia situated at 3,750 m. The sample included 1) 39 high altitude rural natives (all male); 2) 67 high altitude urban ...
Maternal adaptation to high-altitude pregnancy : an experiment of nature-a review
(Placenta, 2004)
A long and productive history of studies at high altitude has demonstrated that chronic hypoxia plays a key role in the aetiology of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and pre-eclampsia. Susceptibility to altitude-associated ...
Developmental components of resting ventilation among high - and low-altitude andean children and adults
(American Journal of Physical Anthroplogy, 1999)
ABSTRACT.
This paper evaluates the age-associated changes of resting
ventilation of 115 high- and low-altitude Aymara subjects, of whom 61 were
from the rural Aymara village of Ventilla situated at an average altitude ...
La hemoglobina como factor de incremento en la difusión alvéolo-capilar en habitantes de altura
(Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura, 1983)
RESUMEN.
La capacidad de difusión alvéolo-capilar (DLCO) fue determinada usando el método en estado de equilibrio (Steady State) en nativos de altura (3.600 m). Se realizó un estudio estadístico mediante coeficientes de ...
Potential role for elevated maternal enzymatic antioxidant status in Andean protection against altitude-associated SGA
(The Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2012)
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the uteroplacental
ischemia characteristic of preeclampsia and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth, both of which are more common at high
(>2500 m) vs low altitude. Since Andeans ...
Human physiological adaptation to pregnancy : inter- and intrspecific perspectives
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2003)
Abstract.
Reproductive success requires successful maternal physiological adaptation to pregnancy. An interspecific perspective reveals that the human species has modified features of our haplorhine heritage affecting ...
