      Vargas P, Enrique; Villena, Mercedes; Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Rodríguez, Armando; Téllez, Wilma; Bellido, Diva (Life on the Qinghai Tibetan plateau, 2007)
      Summary. Among the majority of inhabitants of La Paz-Bolivia (3,200-4,100 m.), the mild elevation seen in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) has no clinical significance and is reversible on descent to lower altitude or with ...

    • Dopaminergic metabolism in carotid bodies and high altitude acclimatization in female rats 

      Joseph, Vincent; Soliz, Jorge; Soria, Rudy; Pequignot, Jacqueline; Favier, Roland; Spielvogel, Hilde; Pequignot, Jean Marc (Am J Physiol Relulatory, 2002-04)
      We tested the hypothesis that ovarian steroids stimulate breathing through a dopaminergic mechanism in the carotid bodies (CB). In ovariectomized female rats raised at sea level, domperidone, a peripheral D2 receptor ...

      Bailey, Damian M; Culcasi, Marcel; Filipponi, Teresa; Brugniaux, Julien V; Stacy, Benjamin S; Marley, Chistopher J; Soria, Rodrigo; Rimoldi, Stefano F; Cerny, David; Rexhaj, Emrush; Pratali, Lorenza; Salinas Salmón, Carlos; Murillo Jáuregui, Carla; Villena, Mercedes; Villafuerte, Francisco; Rockenbauer, Antal; Pietri, Sylvia; Scherrer, Urs; Sartori, Claudio (Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2022)
      Abstract Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a high-altitude (HA) maladaptation syndrome characterised by elevated systemic oxidative-nitrosative stress (OXNOS) due to a free radical-mediated reduction in vascular nitric ...

    • Estudio comparativo de la función ventricular derecha en participantes sanos y mal crónico de montaña 

      Murillo Jauregui, Carla; Romero, Catherine; Gonzales, Cristina; Alarcón, Ana María; Aguilar, Martha; Villena, Mercedes; Salinas, Carlos (COLEGIO MEDICO DE BOLIVIA, 2016-02)

    • Hemoglobin mass and blood volume in patients with altitude-related polycythemia 

      Schmidt, Walter FJ; Wachsmuth, Nadine; Jiménez, Jesús; Soria, Rudy (Frontiers in Physiology, 2022)
      Patients with chronic mountain sickness (CMS) have a high hemoglobin concentration [Hb] due to increased hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and possibly reduced plasma volume (PV). The values of Hbmass, PV and blood volume (BV) have ...
