Andean women have greater uterine artery (UTA) enlargement during pregnancy than european residents of 3600 m.
([s.n.], 2003)Abstract. Babies weigh less at high altitude but multi-generational high-altitude residents are protected from this birth weight decline (Moore HAMB 2001). Objective: We asked if higher arterial oxygenation and/or blood ... -
Anemia ferropénica durante la segunda mitad del embarazo en la altura (3.600 m.)
(Acta Andina, 1993) -
Do cytokines contribute to the andean-associated protection from reduced fetal growth at high altitude?
(Reproductive Sciences, 2011)Abstract. Pro- versus anti-inflammatory cytokine balance is important for successful pregnancy. Chronic hypoxia alters cytokine levels and increases the frequency of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Multigenerational Andean ... -
Higher estrogen levels during pregnancy in Andean than European residents of high altitude suggest differences in aromatase activity
(J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2014-08)Context: Uteroplacental hypoxia has been reported to lower estrogen levels in preeclampsia as the result of reduced aromatase activity. Objective: We asked whether the chronic hypoxia of residence at high altitude in the ... -
Human physiological adaptation to pregnancy : inter- and intrspecific perspectives
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2003)Abstract. Reproductive success requires successful maternal physiological adaptation to pregnancy. An interspecific perspective reveals that the human species has modified features of our haplorhine heritage affecting ... -
Lowland origin women raised at high altitude are not protected against lower uteroplacental O2 delivery during pregnancy or reduced birth weight
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2011-04-27)Objective. Maternal physiologic responses to pregnancy promoting fetal oxygen and nutrient delivery are important determinants of reproductive success. Incomplete physiologic compensation for reduced oxygen availability ... -
Maternal adaptation to high-altitude pregnancy : an experiment of nature-a review
(Placenta, 2004)A long and productive history of studies at high altitude has demonstrated that chronic hypoxia plays a key role in the aetiology of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and pre-eclampsia. Susceptibility to altitude-associated ... -
Maternal and fetoplacental hypoxia do not alter circulating angiogenic growth factors : the emperor's got no clothes?
(The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010)ABSTRACT. Context: Placental hypoxia alters production of angiogenic growth factors (AGFs), thought to be causally involved in the development of the pregnancy-specific disease preeclampsia (PE). Consistent with this, ... -
Reduced endothelin-1 (ET-1) and elevated nitric oxide metabolites (NOX) across pregnancy among andean vs. european women at high (3100-3600 m) altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)Background. A consistent reduction in infant birth weight occurs with ascending altitude; however multigenerational high-altitude residents [Andeans] demonstrate a degree of protection from altitude-associated IUGR ... -
Uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in high-altitude aymara women
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)Background. Birth weight falls with increasing altitude as the result of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) likely due, in turn, to lower uterine artery (UtA) blood flow. The altitude-associated birth weight decline is ...
