Sleep-disordered breathing and oxidative stress in preclinical chronic mountain sickness (excessive erythrocytosis)
(Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2013-01-22)
Abstract.
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is considered to be a loss of ventilatory acclimatization to high
altitude (>2500 m) resulting in marked arterial hypoxemia and polycythemia. This case-control
study explores ...
Graduated effects of high-altitude hypoxia and highland ancestry on birth size
(Pediatric Research, 2013-10-02)
Background: We present a cohort of ca. 25,000 birth
records from Bolivia of men and women who are currently
adults. We used this cohort to test the hypothesis that high
altitude reduces birth weight and that highland ...
Inhibition of peroxisome proliferator gamma (PPARɣ) : a potential link between chronic maternal hypoxia and impaired fetal growth
(Journal of Women's Health, 2013)
Background and Objective: Chronic maternal hypoxia impairs
fetal growth and increases the incidence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). To identify the mechanisms underlying these hypoxia-related effects, we evaluated ...
Andean and Tibetan patterns of adaptation to high altitude
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2013-01-24)
Objectives: High-altitude hypoxia, or decreased oxygen levels caused by low barometric pressure, challenges the
ability of humans to live and reproduce. Despite these challenges, human populations have lived on the Andean ...
