Cerebral autoregulation in subjects adapted and not adapted to high altitude.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) from high-altitude hypoxia may cause high-altitude cerebral edema in newcomers to a higher altitude. Furthermore, it is assumed that high-altitude natives have preserved CA. However, cerebral autoregulation has not been studied at altitude. METHODS We studied CA in 10 subjects at sea level and in 9 Sherpas and 10 newcomers at an alt...
متن کاملAntibody formation in rabbits adapted and nonadapted to high altitude.
Antibody formation in high-altitude-acclimatized and nonacclimatized rabbits was investigated at altitudes of 14,100 (Pikes Peak, Colo.) and 5,330 (Denver, Colo.). Serum pools representing samplings of primary response were titered before and after treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol. Peak titers of 2-mercaptoethanolresistant and -sensitive humoral antibodies were higher in the animals adapted to ...
متن کاملEndogenous Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Pathway in High Altitude Adapted Yaks
Hypoxia-induced and high altitude pulmonary hypertension are a major problem in the mountain areas of the world. The asymmetric methylarginines (ADMA) inhibit nitric oxide (NO) synthesis by competing with L-arginine, and high levels of plasma ADMA predict adverse outcomes in pulmonary hypertension. However, little is known about the regulation of the ADMA-NO pathway in animals adapted to high a...
متن کاملMilk at altitude: Human milk macronutrient composition in a high-altitude adapted population of Tibetans.
OBJECTIVE The physiological challenges of high altitude have led to population-specific patterns of adaptation. These include alterations to child growth and reproduction, including lactation. However, while breastfeeding has been investigated, nothing is known about milk composition in high altitude adapted populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here, we investigate milk macronutrient compositio...
متن کاملRole of the altitude level on cerebral autoregulation in residents at high altitude.
Cerebral autoregulation is impaired in Himalayan high-altitude residents who live above 4,200 m. This study was undertaken to determine the altitude at which this impairment of autoregulation occurs. A second aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that administration of oxygen can reverse this impairment in autoregulation at high altitudes. In four groups of 10 Himalayan high-altitude dwel...
