Maternal oxygen delivery is not related to altitude- and ancestry-associated differences in human fetal growth
(J Physiol, 2007-09-16)
Fetal growth is reduced at high altitude, but the decrease is less among long-resident populations.
We hypothesized that greater maternal uteroplacental O2 delivery would explain increased
fetal growth in Andean natives ...
Chronic mountain sickness, optimal hemoglobin and heart disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2006-06)
Abstract.
For the male inhabitants of La Paz, Bolivia
(3200–4100 m), and other high altitude regions in America and Asia, chronic mountain sickness
(CMS) is a major health problem. Since CMS was first described by Carlos ...
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 ...

de Biología Médica de altura 2:361-367, 2001 - Es definido que el hematocrito normal y los niveles ...
Does chronic mountain sickness (CMS) have perinatal origins?
(Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2007-06-29)
Abstract.
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) occurs in 10% of male high-altitude residents. It is characterized by hypoventilation and hypoxemia but its underlying cause remains unknown. We hypothesized that CMS' origins ...
Change in body water distribution index in infants who become stunted between 4 and 18 months of age
(European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2003-08)
Objective.
To evaluate body composition changes using bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold thickness measurements in infants from tropical areas who become stunted between 4–18 months of age.
Design and measurements: ...
Pulmonary gas exchange and acid-base state at 5,260 m in high-altitude Bolivians and acclimatized lowlanders
(J Appl Physiol, 2002)
Pulmonary gas exchange and acid-base state were compared
in nine Danish lowlanders (L) acclimatized to 5,260 m for 9
wk and seven native Bolivian residents (N) of La Paz (altitude 3,600–4,100 m) brought acutely to this ...
Salivary progesterone levels and rate of ovulation are significantly lower in poorer than in better-of urban-dwelling Bolivian women
(Human Reproduction, 2002)
Agriculturalists in less-developed countries (LDC) have lower progesterone levels than urban industrialized populations. However, it is unknown if urban LDC populations are also relatively lower. We tested whether urban ...
Effect of high altitude on protein metabolism in Bolivian children
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-08-01)
Abstract.
In Bolivia, malnutrition in children is a major health problem that may be caused by inadequate protein, energy, and micronutrient intake; exposure to bacterial and parasitic infections; and ...
Dopaminergic metabolism in carotid bodies and high altitude acclimatization in female rats
(Am J Physiol Relulatory, 2002-04)
We tested
the hypothesis that ovarian steroids stimulate breathing
through a dopaminergic mechanism in the carotid bodies (CB). In
ovariectomized female rats raised at sea level, domperidone,
a peripheral D2 receptor ...
