    • Cabello, Gertrudis; Fariña, Emilio; Jeldres, Alejandro; Rimoldi, Stefano F.; Scherrer, Urs (Interciencia Association, 2017)
      It is thought that adaptive changes protect high-altitude populations against altitude-induced diseases, but information from well controlled studies is lacking. In a prospective, controlled study, we assessed the prevalence ...
    • Herrera Videla, Emilio; Reyes, Roberto V.; Giussani, Dino A.; Riquelme González, Raquel; Sanhueza Reinoso, Emilia; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Casanello, Paola; Méndez, Natalia; Ebensperger, Renato; Sepúlveda Kattan, Esteban; Pulgar, Víctor M.; Cabello, Gertrudis; Blanco, Carlos E.; Hanson, Mark A.; Parer, Julian T.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (European Society of Cardiology, 2008)
      Aims To study the nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide roles in the regulation of the pulmonary circulation in lowland and highland newborn sheep and llamas. Methods and results We used neonatal sheep (Ovis aries) and ...
    • Benavides, Claudio E.; Pérez, Rubén; Cerda Espinoza, Mauricio Alexis; Cabello, Gertrudis; Riquelme, Raquel; Parer, Julian T.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (1989)
      Factors which allow the adaptation of adult llamas to oxygen limitation include principally: low P50, small elliptical red cells with high hemoglobin concentration, high muscle myoglobin concentration, high capillary density ...
    • Cabello, Gertrudis; Valenzuela, Mario; Yañez, Franklin; Pages, Teresa; Sayos, Rosa (Interciencia, 2018-03)
      The revision and evaluation of the teaching practice is a demand of the society that every time demands a better formation of competent professionals in its area. An essential edge in the training process, which must be ...

    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Llanos Mansilla, Jorge; Riquelme, Raquel A.; Sanhueza, Emilia M.; Herrera Videla, Emilio; Cabello, Gertrudis; Giussani, Dino A.; Parer, Julian T. (2002)
      Unlike fetal animals of lowland species, the llama fetus does not increase its cerebral blood flow during an episode of acute hypoxaemia. This study tested the hypothesis that the fetal llama brain maintains cerebral ...
    • Inostroza, Juan; Sáenz Iturriaga, Leonardo Enrique; Calaf, Gloria; Cabello, Gertrudis; Parra, Eduardo (Society of Biology of Chile, 2005)
      The specific signaling connections between the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) such as c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK-1) and phosphatases PP4 and M3/6, affecting the family of early nuclear factors, is complex and ...
    • López, Nandy; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Herrera Videla, Emilio; Reyes, Roberto V.; Calaf, Gloria; Cabello, Gertrudis; Moraga, Fernando; Benaldo, Felipe A.; Díaz, Marcela; Parer, Julian T.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (Amer Physiological Soc, 2016)
      Exposure to high-altitude chronic hypoxia during pregnancy may cause pulmonary hypertension in neonates, as a result of vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling. We hypothesized that susceptibility to pulmonary hypertension, ...
    • Llanos Mansilla, Jorge; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Herrera, Emilio A.; Reyes, Roberto V.; Cabello, Gertrudis; Díaz Díaz, Marcela Cecilia; Giussani, Dino A.; Parer, Julian T. (2012)
      Pulmonary arterial hypertension is one of the most serious pathologies that can affect the 140 million people living at altitudes over 2500. m. The primary emphasis of this review is pulmonary artery hypertension in mammals ...
