• Acute hypoxia-reoxygenation and vascular oxygen sensing in the chicken embryo 

      Mohammed, Riazuddin; Salinas, Carlos E; Giussani, Dino A; Blanco, Carlos E; Cogolludo, Ángel L; Villamor, Eduardo (Physiological Reports, 2017)
      Abstract. Fetal/perinatal hypoxia is one of the most common causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality and is frequently accompannied by vascular dysfunction. However, the mechanisms involved have not been fully delineated. ...
    • Adrenocortical suppression in highland chick embryos is restored during incubation at sea level 

      Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Villena, Mercedes; Blanco, Carlos E; Giussani, Dino A (High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2011)
      Abstract. By combining the chick embryo model with incubation at high altitude, this study tested the hypothesis that development at high altitude is related to a fetal origin of adrenocortical but not adrenomedullary ...
    • Cardiac and vascular disease prior to hatching in chick embryos incubated at high altitude 

      Salinas, CE; Blanco, CE; Villena, M; Camm, EJ; Tuckett, JD; Weerakkody, RA; Kane, AD; Shelley, AM; Wooding, FBP; Quy, M; Giussani, DA (Journal of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, 2010)
      Abstract. The partial contributions of reductions in fetal nutrition and oxygenation to slow fetal growth and a developmental origin of cardiovascular disease remain unclear. By combining high altitude with the chick ...
    • 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 ...
