Chronic mountain sickness, optimal hemoglobin and heart disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2006-06)
Abstract.
For the male inhabitants of La Paz, Bolivia
(3200–4100 m), and other high altitude regions in America and Asia, chronic mountain sickness
(CMS) is a major health problem. Since CMS was first described by Carlos ...
Dopaminergic metabolism in carotid bodies and high altitude acclimatization in female rats
(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 ...
New data demonstrates that relationship of salivary to serum progesterone in Bolivian women is comparable to that in other populations
(36th Annual Meeting Minnesota, 2011-04-13)
Abstract.
Salivary progesterone (P) concentration is widely
used in field studies as a relatively easy-to-measure
proxy for serum P. Chatterton et al. [Fertility & Sterility 86:723 (2006)] compared sample means of ...
Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 M) residents in the absence of lung disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-04-18)
Objective: Chronic Mountain Sickness occurs in , 8% of the La Paz
population. We asked whether its primary diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP), occurred in youngeraged persons
without lung disease. Methods: ...
Methods of the international study on soccer at altitude 3600 m (ISA 3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-07-10)
Abstract.
Background: We describe here the 3-year process
underpinning a multinational collaboration to investigate
soccer played at high altitude—La Paz, Bolivia
(3600 m). There were two main aims: first, to quantify
the ...
Epidemiological transitions, reproductive health, and the Flexible Response Model
(ECONOMICS AND HUMAN BIOLOGY, 2003)
Abstract.
In concert with improving standards of living since the mid-19th century, chronic and non-infectious diseases replaced infectious diseases as the major causes of mortality in more developed countries. Thus, ...
Interpopulational differences in progesterone levels during conception and implantation in humans
(PNAS, 2004-02-10)
Clinical studies of women from the United States demonstrate a
sensitivity of the ovarian system to energetic stress. Even moder
ate exercise or caloric restriction can lead to lower progesterone
levels and failure to ...
Rendimiento de futbolistas profesionales aclimatados y no aclimatados a la altura, a 3600 metros
(PubliCE, 2003-01-05)
Resumen.
Los partidos del Fútbol Europeo son frecuentemente jugados a nivel internacional en regiones montañosas de Sudamérica. En este estudio, fueron medidas las respuestas del ejercicio durante una ergometría en ciclo ...
Changes in blood gas transport of altitude native soccer players near sea-level and sea-level native soccer players at altitude (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-09-03)
Abstract.
Objectives The optimal strategy for soccer teams
playing at altitude is not known, that is, ‘fly-in, fly-out’
versus short-term acclimatisation. Here, we document
changes in blood gas and vascular volumes of ...
Gender differentiation of the chemoreflex during growth at high altitude : functional and nerurochemical studies
(Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol, 2000)
The effect of chronic hypoxia on
gender differences in physiology and neurochemistry of chemosensory pathways was studied in prepubertal and adult rats
living at sea level (SL; Lyon, France) or at high altitude (HA;
La ...
