Do anti-angiogenic or angiogenic factors contribute to the protection of birth weight at high altitude afforded by andean ancestry?
(Reprod Sci., 2010-09)
Abstract.
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 contribute ...
High-end arteriolar resistance limits uterine artery blood flow and restricts fetal growth in preeclampsia and gestational hypertension at high altitude
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2011)
The reduction in
infant birth weight and increased frequency of preeclampsia (PE) in
high-altitude residents have been attributed to greater placental hypoxia, smaller uterine artery (UA) diameter, and lower UA blood ...
Do cytokines contribute to the andean-associated protection from reduced fetal growth at high altitude?
(Reproductive Sciences, 2011)
Abstract.
Pro- versus anti-inflammatory cytokine balance is important for successful pregnancy. Chronic hypoxia alters cytokine levels and increases the frequency of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Multigenerational Andean ...
