Chronic mountain sickness and cor pulmonale La Paz-Bolivia (3,600-4,100 m)
(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 ...
Autosomal and X chromosome alu insertions in Bolivian aymaras and quechuas : two languages and one genetic pool
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2010)
Abstract.
Thirty-two polymorphic Alu insertions (18 autosomal and 14 from the X chromosome) were studied in
192 individuals from two Amerindian populations of the Bolivian Altiplano (Aymara and Quechua speakers: the two ...
Role of cytokines in altitude-associated preeclampsia
(Pregnancy Hypertens, 2012-01)
Abstract.
Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is more common at high than low altitude and contributes
to the altitude-related decline in birth weight. Since inflammatory markers are implicated
in PE, we asked if such markers ...
Augmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2009-02-20)
Abstract.
The effect of high altitude on reducing birth weight is markedly less in
populations of high- (e.g., Andeans) relative to low-altitude origin
(e.g., Europeans). Uterine artery (UA) blood flow is greater ...
Greater uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in multigenerational (Andean) than shorter-term (European) high-altitude residents
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007)
Multigenerational (Andean) compared with shorter-term (European) high-altitude
residents exhibit less hypoxia-associated reductions in birth
weight. Because differences in arterial O2 content are not responsible,
we ...
Body fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular adjustments during submaximal exercise : inlfuence of chewing coca leaves
(Eur J Appl Physiol, 1997)
Abstract.
The present study was undertaken to determine the haematological and cardiovascular status, at rest and during prolonged (1 h) submaximal exercise (approximately 70% of peak oxygen uptake in a group (n = 12) of ...
