Maternal oxygen delivery is not related to altitude‐ and ancestry‐associated differences in human fetal growth
18 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Fetal growth is reduced at high altitude, but the decrease is less among long-resident populations. We hypothesized that greater maternal uteroplacental O(2) delivery would explain increased fetal growth in Andean natives versus European migrants to high altitude. O(2) delivery was measured with ultrasound, Doppler and haematological techniques. Participants (n=180) were pregnant women of self-professed European...
