Aymara children are protected from high-altitude-induced pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Pulmonary hypertension is a hallmark of the adaptation to ambient lack of oxygen. This assumption is also
thought to hold true for high-altitude native children,
since invasive studies showed elevated pulmonary-artery
pressure ...
Offspring of preeclamptic mothers are predisposed to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Adverse events in utero may predispose to cardiovascular disease in adulthood. In preeclampsia, the diseased placenta releases circulating vasculotoxic factors
that cause maternal endothelial dysfunction. These factors ...
Epidemiological transitions, reproductive health, and the Flexible Response Model
(ECONOMICS AND HUMAN BIOLOGY, 2003)
Abstract.
In concert with improving standards of living since the mid-19th century, chronic and non-infectious diseases replaced infectious diseases as the major causes of mortality in more developed countries. Thus, ...
European genetic admixture predicts decrement in aerobic performance at 4338 meters in peruvian quechua
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
Quechua natives of the highland Andes may be genetically
adapted to high altitude and thus able to resist decrements in maximal O2 consumption in hypoxia (DVO2max). This evolutionary hypothesis was tested via the repeated ...
Where the O2 goes to : preservation of human fetal oxygen delivery and consumption at high altitude
(The Journal of Physiology, 2009)
Fetal growth is decreased at high altitude (> 2700 m). We hypothesized that variation in fetal O2
delivery might account for both the altitude effect and the relative preservation of fetal growth in
multigenerational ...
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 ...

(EPOC), se define como la obstrucción bronquial
irreversible al flujo aéreo que se demuestra en las
pruebas funcionales respiratorias con la

Reproduction in high altitude aymara : physiological stress and fertility planning?
(J. Biosoc. Sci., 2002)
Summary.
Reproductive characteristics at high altitude are described based on the reproductive histories of 720 Aymara women, collected in 1998 and
1999 in a group of twelve peasant communities at ...
