Endocrine and other physiologic modulators of perinatal cardiomyocyte endowment.
Immature contractile cardiomyocytes proliferate to rapidly increase cell number, establishing cardiomyocyte endowment in the perinatal period. Developmental changes in cellular maturation, size and attrition further contribute to cardiac anatomy. These physiological processes occur concomitant with a changing hormonal environment as the fetus prepares itself for the transition to extrauterine l...
متن کاملDoes the Origin of the Endowment Matter?
We investigate the effect of different origins of endowment in a charitable giving experiment. Our results show that money from non-research funds and earned endowment significantly decrease donations, but there are insignificant differences between genders.

Recently, maternal obesity has been suggested as a risk factor for poor breast-feeding practices whose role has not...
متن کاملNewborn Hypoxia/Anoxia Inhibits Cardiomyocyte Proliferation and Decreases Cardiomyocyte Endowment in the Developing Heart: Role of Endothelin-1
In the developing heart, cardiomyocytes undergo terminal differentiation during a critical window around birth. Hypoxia is a major stress to preterm infants, yet its effect on the development and maturation of the heart remains unknown. We tested the hypothesis in a rat model that newborn anoxia accelerates cardiomyocyte terminal differentiation and results in reduced cardiomyocyte endowment in...
متن کاملMaternal Fat Feeding Augments Offspring Nephron Endowment in Mice
Increasing consumption of a high fat 'Western' diet has led to a growing number of pregnancies complicated by maternal obesity. Maternal overnutrition and obesity have health implications for offspring, yet little is known about their effects on offspring kidney development and renal function. Female C57Bl6 mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD, 21% fat) or matched normal fat diet (NFD, 6% fat) fo...
