Effects of High Altitude on AMPK Activation

Pregnancy elicits adaptive changes in uteroplacental blood flow, which are altered at high altitude and may contribute to the observed 3-fold increase in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia (PreE). The investigators propose to collect myometrial, cord blood, and placental tissue samples from women at high altitude (Summit County) and low altitude (Denver) in Colorado in order to determine if residence at altitude during pregnancy changes the vasoreactivity of myometrial arteries (MA). If altered MA vasoreactivity is found, further studies may be able to link these changes to the increased rates of PreE and IUGR at altitude and contribute to the understanding of these two disorders.

How this works

  1. Answer a few questions

    About 5 to 10 minutes. Skip-friendly where possible.

  2. We forward your profile to the study team

    They see only the answers needed to decide if you can be screened.

  3. The team reaches out to schedule screening

    Usually within a few business days, via the contact you give.

We save your progress under this email so you can come back later, and the study team uses it to reach you.
