Maternal and fetal amino acid concentrations and fetal outcomes during pre-eclampsia.
The pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia is contested, but one hypothesis indicates that it is a heterogeneous condition in which only a subset of affected women bear small-for-gestational age (SGA) babies. In intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) infants, placental transport of amino acids is diminished and the resulting decrease in cord-blood amino acid concentrations is thought to contribute to ...
متن کاملGlucose utilization by fetal muscles during maternal fasting.
In utero, glucose utilization by fetal muscles (heart and hindlimb) displays important interspecies differences. In the fed state, it is 5-fold higher in rat than in rabbit fetal muscles. Maternal fasting induces a decrease in glucose utilization in fetal muscles of the rat but not of the rabbit.
متن کاملProlonged maternal amino acid infusion in late-gestation pregnant sheep increases fetal amino acid oxidation.
Protein supplementation during human pregnancy does not improve fetal growth and may increase small-for-gestational-age birth rates and mortality. To define possible mechanisms, sheep with twin pregnancies were infused with amino acids (AA group, n = 7) or saline (C group, n = 4) for 4 days during late gestation. In the AA group, fetal plasma leucine, isoleucine, valine, and lysine concentratio...
متن کاملUmbilical uptake of amino acids in the unstressed fetal lamb.
The whole blood concentrations of 22 amino acids were measured in a chronic, unstressed fetal lamb preparations. Samples were taken daily from the umbilical artery, umbilical vein, and maternal artery over the latter quarter of gestation. 73 sets of samples (from the umbilical artery and vein and the maternal artery) from 13 animals were analyzed for amino acid levels. Oxygen contents were dete...
متن کاملMinimizing amino acid catabolism decreases amino acid requirements.
The processes of natural selection shape the efficiency of nutrient use by animals, with some being especially thrifty while others are wasteful. An examination of the widely divergent amino acid economies of different species vividly illustrates this basic nutritional principle. The domestic cat evolved as a carnivore and has a very high maintenance requirement for dietary amino acids. The cat...
