    • Evolving in thin air-Lessons from the llama fetus in the altiplano 
      Llanos Mansilla, Jorge; Riquelme, Raquel A.; Herrera, Emilio A.; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Krause, Bernardo; Reyes, Roberto V.; Sanhueza, Emilia M.; Pulgar, Víctor M.; Behn, Claus; Cabello, Gertrudis; Parer, Julian T.; Giussani, Dino A.; Blanco, Carlos E.; Hanson, Mark A. (2007)
      Compared with lowland species, fetal life for mammalian species whose mothers live in high altitude is demanding. For instance, fetal llamas have to cope with the low fetal arterial PO2 of all species, but also the likely ...
    • Long-term exposure to high-altitude chronic hypoxia during gestation induces neonatal pulmonary hypertension ... 
      Herrera, Emilio A.; Riquelme, Raquel A.; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Reyes, Roberto V.; Ulloa, César E.; Cabello, Gertrudis; Krause, Bernardo J.; Parer, Julian T.; Giussani, Dino A.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (2010)
      We determined whether postnatal pulmonary hypertension induced by 70% of pregnancy at high altitude (HA) persists once the offspring return to sea level and investigated pulmonary vascular mechanisms operating under these ...
    • Role of the α-adrenergic system in femoral vascular reactivity in neonatal llamas and sheep: A comparative ... 
      Moraga, Fernando A.; Reyes, Roberto V.; Herrera, Emilio A.; Riquelme, Raquel A.; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Pulgar, Víctor M.; Parer, Julian T.; Giussani, Dino A.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (2011)
      Using an integrative approach at the whole animal, isolated vessels, and molecular levels, we tested the hypothesis that the llama, a species that undergoes pregnancy under the influence of the chronic hypoxia of high ...
