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 ...
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 ...
Effect of menstrual cycle phase on exercise performance of high-altitude native women at 3600 m
(The Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002)
Summary.
At sea level normally menstruating women show
increased ventilation (VE) and hemodynamic changes due
to increased progesterone (P) and estrogen (E2) levels
during the mid-luteal (L) compared to the mid-follicular
(F) ...
Absence of work efficiency differences during cycle ergometry exercise in Bolivian Aymara
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2004)
ABSTRACT.
This study tested the hypothesis that Andean natives are adapted to high altitude (HA) via high work ef
ficiency during exercise in hypoxia. A total of 186 young males and females were tested in Bo
livia, ...
A prospective study of early pregnancy loss in humans
(Fertility and Sterility, 2006-08)
Objective: To test two hypotheses: In spontaneous conceptions, early pregnancy loss (EPL) is associated with [1]
inadequate luteal (ovarian) P, and/or [2] elevated follicular (adrenal) P.
Design: A population-based ...
Rendimiento de futbolistas profesionales aclimatados y no aclimatados a la altura, a 3600 metros
(PubliCE, 2003-01-05)
Resumen.
Los partidos del Fútbol Europeo son frecuentemente jugados a nivel internacional en regiones montañosas de Sudamérica. En este estudio, fueron medidas las respuestas del ejercicio durante una ergometría en ciclo ...
Interpopulational differences in progesterone levels during conception and implantation in humans
(PNAS, 2004-02-10)
Clinical studies of women from the United States demonstrate a
sensitivity of the ovarian system to energetic stress. Even moder
ate exercise or caloric restriction can lead to lower progesterone
levels and failure to ...
