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 ...
Potential role for elevated maternal enzymatic antioxidant status in Andean protection against altitude-associated SGA
(The Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2012)
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the uteroplacental
ischemia characteristic of preeclampsia and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth, both of which are more common at high
