Augmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect Andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth

26 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

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 during pregnancy in Andeans than Europeans at high altitude; however, it is not clear whether such blood flow differences play a causal role in ancestry-associated variations in fetal growth. We tested the...
