Augmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2009-02-20)
Abstract.
The effect of high altitude on reducing birth weight is markedly less in
populations of high- (e.g., Andeans) relative to low-altitude origin
(e.g., Europeans). Uterine artery (UA) blood flow is greater ...
Neonatal oxygenation, pulmonary hypertension, and evolutionary adaptation to high altitutde (2013 Grover Conference series)
(Pulm Circ, 2015-03)
Abstract.
Andeans and Tibetans have less altitude reduction in birth weight than do shorter-resident
groups, but only Tibetans are protected from pulmonary hypertension and chronic mountain sickness
(CMS). We hypothesized ...
Greater uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in multigenerational (Andean) than shorter-term (European) high-altitude residents
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007)
Multigenerational (Andean) compared with shorter-term (European) high-altitude
residents exhibit less hypoxia-associated reductions in birth
weight. Because differences in arterial O2 content are not responsible,
we ...
