Fractional exhaled nitric oxide amongst high altitude indigenous populations

Nitric oxide (NO) is produced in the human lung by nitric oxide synthase (NOS), with increased levels reflecting airway inflammation. Although the presence of nitric oxide in exhaled air was first described in 1991, detail physiological pathways of exhaled nitric oxide are still unclear. It has been reported by the investigators that exhaled nitric oxide is higher in subjects with various obstructive pulmonary diseases. However, information on exhaled nitric oxide among highlander natives are not available for many high altitude populations, where pulmonary diseases can be fatal.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
