      In this study we looked for additional evidence to support the hypothesis that fetal llama reacts to hypoxaemia with adaptive brain hypometabolism. We determined fetal llama brain temperature, Na+ and K+ channel density ...
    • Herrera Videla, Emilio; Pulgar, Víctor M.; Riquelme González, Raquel; Sanhueza Reinoso, Emilia; Reyes, Roberto V.; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Parer, Julian T.; Valdéz, Enrique A.; Giussani, Dino A.; Blanco, Carlos E.; Hanson, Mark A.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2007-06)
      Perinatal exposure to chronic hypoxia induces sustained pulmonary hypertension and structural and functional changes in both pulmonary and systemic vascular beds. The aim of this study was to analyze consequences of ...
    • Reyes Catalán, Víctor; Herrera Videla, Emilio; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Sanhueza Reinoso, Emilia; Giussani, D. A.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (American Physiological Society, 2020)
      Most mammals have a poor tolerance to hypoxia, and prolonged O-2 restriction can lead to organ injury, particularly during fetal and early postnatal life. Nevertheless, the llama (Lama Glama) has evolved efficient mechanisms ...
    • Sanhueza Reinoso, Emilia; Riquelme González, Raquel; Herrera Videla, Emilio; Giussani, Dino A.; Blanco, Carlos E.; Hanson, Mark A.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2005-09)
      The fetal llama responds to hypoxemia, with a marked peripheral vasoconstriction but, unlike the sheep, with little or no increase in cerebral blood flow. We tested the hypothesis that the role of nitric oxide (NO) may be ...
