• Do cytokines contribute to the andean-associated protection from reduced fetal growth at high altitude? 

      Dávila, R Daniela; Julian, Colleen Glyde; Wilson, Megan J; Browne, Vaughn A; Rodríguez, Carmelo; Bigham, Abigail W; Shriver, Mark D; Vargas, Enrique; Moore, Lorna G (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 ...
    • Uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in high-altitude aymara women 

      Wilson, Megan; Niermeyer, Susan; Armaza, J Fernando; López, Miriam; Vargas, Enrique; Moore, Lorna G (High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
      Background. Birth weight falls with increasing altitude as the result of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) likely due, in turn, to lower uterine artery (UtA) blood flow. The altitude-associated birth weight decline is ...
