• Determinants of blood oxygenation during pregnancy in Andean and Europeas residents of high altitude 

      Vargas, Marco; Vargas, Enrique; Julian, Colleen Glyde; Armaza, J Fernando; Rodríguez, Armando; Téllez, Wilma; Niermeyer, Susan; Wilson, Megan; Parra, Esteban; Shriver, Mark; Moore, Lorna G (Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007-07-02)
      High altitude decreases birth weight, but this effect is diminished in long vs. short-resident, high-altitude populations. We asked whether women from long vs. short-resident, high-altitude populations had higher arterial ...
    • Hypoglycemia and the origin of hypoxia-induced reduction in human fetal growth 

      Zamudio, Stacy; Torricos, Tatiana; Fik, Ewa; Oyala, María; Echalar, Lourdes; Pullockaran, Janet; Tutino, Emily; Martin, Brittney; Belliappa, Sonia; Balanza, Elfride; Illsley, Nicholas P (PLOS One, 2010-01)
      Abtract. Background: The most well known reproductive consequence of residence at high altitude (HA .2700 m) is reduction in fetal growth. Reduced fetoplacental oxygenation is an underlying cause of pregnancy pathologies, ...
    • Maternal oxygen delivery is not related to altitude- and ancestry-associated differences in human fetal growth 

      Zamudio, Stacy; Postigo, Lucrecia; Illsley, Nicholas P; Rodríguez, Carmelo; Heredia, Gladys; Brimacombe, Michael; Echalar, Lourdes; Torricos, Tatiana; Téllez, Wilma; Maldonado, Iván; Balanza Erquicia, Elfride; Álvarez, Tatiana; Ameller, Julio; Vargas, Enrique (J Physiol, 2007-09-16)
      Fetal growth is reduced at high altitude, but the decrease is less among long-resident populations. We hypothesized that greater maternal uteroplacental O2 delivery would explain increased fetal growth in Andean natives ...
    • The role of oxygen in fetal growth 

      Salinas, CE; Villena, M; Blanco, CE; Giussani, DA (J Soc Gynecol Investig, 2003)
    • The role of oxygen in prenatal growth : studies in the chick embryo 

      Giussani, Dino A; Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Villena, Mercedes; Blanco, Carlos E (J Physiol, 2007-10-25)
      The compelling evidence linking small size at birth with later cardiovascular disease has renewed and amplified scientific and clinical interests into the determinants of fetal growth. It is accepted that genes and ...
    • Where the O2 goes to : preservation of human fetal oxygen delivery and consumption at high altitude 

      Postigo, Lucrecia; Heredia, Gladys; Illsley, Nicholas P; Torricos, Tatiana; Dolan, Caitlin; Echalar, Lourdes; Téllez, Wilma; Maldonado, Iván; Brimacombe, Michael; Balanza, Elfride; Vargas, Enrique; Zamudio, Stacy (The Journal of Physiology, 2009)
      Fetal growth is decreased at high altitude (> 2700 m). We hypothesized that variation in fetal O2 delivery might account for both the altitude effect and the relative preservation of fetal growth in multigenerational ...
