Andean compared with european women are protected from altitude-associated intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
(s.n., 2003)
Abstract.
Babies born at high altitude to long-term high-altitude residents weigh more than those of recent migrants from low altitude. Objective: We asked whether a gradient exists such that persons of Andean ancestry ...
Human physiological adaptation to pregnancy : inter- and intrspecific perspectives
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2003)
Abstract.
Reproductive success requires successful maternal physiological adaptation to pregnancy. An interspecific perspective reveals that the human species has modified features of our haplorhine heritage affecting ...
Perinatal hypoxia increases susceptibility to high-altitude polycythemia and attendant pulmonary vascular dysfunction
(Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol, 2015-04-27)
Perinatal hypoxia increases susceptibility to high-altitude polycythemia and
attendant pulmonary vascular dysfunction. Am J Physiol Heart Circ
Physiol 309: H565–H573, 2015. First published June 19, 2015;
doi:10.1152/a ...
Andean women have greater uterine artery (UTA) enlargement during pregnancy than european residents of 3600 m.
(s.n., 2003)
Abstract.
Babies weigh less at high altitude but multi-generational high-altitude residents are protected from this birth weight decline (Moore HAMB 2001). Objective: We asked if higher arterial oxygenation and/or blood ...
Maternal adaptation to high-altitude pregnancy : an experiment of nature-a review
(Placenta, 2004)
A long and productive history of studies at high altitude has demonstrated that chronic hypoxia plays a key role in the aetiology of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and pre-eclampsia. Susceptibility to altitude-associated ...
Determinants of blood oxygenation during pregnancy in Andean and Europeas residents of high altitude
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007-07-02)
High altitude decreases birth weight,
but this effect is diminished in long vs. short-resident, high-altitude
populations. We asked whether women from long vs. short-resident,
high-altitude populations had higher arterial ...
Reduced endothelin-1 (ET-1) and elevated nitric oxide metabolites (NOX) across pregnancy among andean vs. european women at high (3100-3600 m) altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background: A consistent reduction in infant birth
weight occurs with ascending altitude; however multigenerational high-altitude residents [Andeans] demonstrate a degree of protection from altitude-associated
IUGR ...
Uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in high-altitude aymara women
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
Background: Birth weight falls with increasing altitude as the result of
intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) likely due, in turn, to lower uterine artery (UtA) blood flow. The altitude-associated birth weight decline
is ...
Do anti-angiogenic or angiogenic factors contribute to the protection of birth weight at high altitude afforded by andean ancestry?
(Reprod Sci., 2010-09)
A b s t r a c t
Objective—This prospective study was designed to determine whether variation in angiogenic
(placental growth factor [PlGF]) and/or anti-angiogenic (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase [sFlt-1])
factors ...
A genomewide admixture mapping panel for hispanic/latino populations
(The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2007-06)
Admixture mapping (AM) is a promising method for the identification of genetic risk factors for complex traits and
diseases showing prevalence differences among populations. Efficient application of this method requires the ...
