Fetal growth, high altitude, and evolutionary adaptation: a new perspective

14 Jul 2021

Abstract excerpt

Residence at high altitude is consistently associated with low birthweight among placental mammals. This reduction in birthweight influences long-term health trajectories for both the offspring and mother. However, the physiological processes that contribute to fetal growth restriction at altitude are still poorly understood, and thus our ability to safely intervene remains limited. One approach to identify the...
