  • An ecology of high-altitude infancy

  • High altitude and hypertension during pregnancy

    Open AccessStacy Zamudio, Susan K Plamer et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1995

    Hypertensive complications of pregnancy are more common at high than low altitudes. Hypertension in pregnancy is associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality; thus natural selection may be operating against women who develop the disorder and their infants. It has long been hypothesized that chronic hypoxia due to residence at high altitude predisposes women to develop hypertension during pregnancy. Prior studies indicate t…

  • Maternal O 2 transport and fetal growth in Colorado, Peru, and Tibet high‐altitude residents

    Open AccessLoma Grindlay Moore, Lorna Grindlay MooreARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1990

    Human populations have lived at high altitudes for lengths of time which are likely to be shortest in Colorado, intermediate in Peru, and longest in Tibet. We hypothesized that the longest‐resident high‐altitude populations have beccome better adapted than shorter‐resident groups as a result of superior abilities to transport and/or utilize O 2 . Because birth weights are reduced at high altitude and decreased birth weight is associated with incr…

  • Adaptation to High Altitude

    Loma Grindlay Moore, Lorna Grindlay Moore et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology1983Citada por: 12

    Infrastructures are material forms that allow for the possibility of exchange over space. They are the physical networks through which goods, ideas, waste, power, people, and finance are trafficked. In this article I trace the range of anthropological ...Read More

  • Incest Avoidance as a Function of Environment and Heredity [and Comments and Reply]

    Ray H Bixler, Stuart A Altmann et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1981Citada por: 10Referencias: 11

    Although it has repeatedly been demonstrated that behavior is best understood as a function of the interrelatedness of nature and nurture, many social scientists persist in posing these determinants adversatively and then contend that genes and biology are, at best, minor determinants of behavior. Analysis in incest avoidance illustrates the inadequacy of efforts to reduce to irrelevance genetic determinants. Man and many other species exhibit st…

  • Biochemical mechanisms of red blood cell 2,3‐diphosphoglycerate increase at high altitude

    Open AccessLoma Grindlay Moore, Lorna Grindlay Moore et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1980Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

    Red blood cell 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3‐DPG) levels increase after ascent to high altitude. Studies were undertaken to identify the biochemical mechanisms responsible for eliciting the 2,3‐DPG response in several types of subjects. These included (1) short‐term exposure to 3400 m in ten subjects; (2) exposure to 4300 m in an additional ten subjects; (3) studies in 28 high‐altitude normal residents of 3100 m; and (4) studies in 28 high‐altitude…
