The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

953-38 Role of Nitric Oxide (EDRF/NO) in the Control of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance in Conscious Dogs with a Blalock-Taussig Shunt

, 1995
The mechanism for preservation of normal pulmonary artery pressure in the presence of increased pulmonary blood flow is unknown. We hypothesized that NO/EDRF (through an increase in blood flow) is responsible for the low pulmonary vascular resistance ...
