Enhanced erythropoietin expression in the brainstem of newborn rats at high altitude
(Neuroscience Letters, 2011)
Abstract.
In addition to its role in elevating red blood cell number, erythropoietin (Epo) exerts protective functions
against acute and delayed degenerative diseases of the brain. Moreover, we have recently demonstrated
that ...
Effects of prenatal hypoxia on hematological and respiratory acclimatization to high altitude in rats
(Actas Club Recherché Clinique de Quebec, 2011)
We tested the hypothesis that prenatal hypoxia have long-term consequences on
physiological acclimatization to high altitude in rats. Male and female high-altitude rats
(3600m, La Paz, Bolivia) were exposed to normal ...
Plasma antioxidant capacity in highland subjects exposed at 5200 meters of altitude
(Revista Boliviana de Química, 2014-06-30)
Abstract.
Human exposure to high altitude conditions (reduced barometric pressure) leads to the formation of free radicals,
which could be a major cause of altitude sickness. In the present study the total antioxidant ...
