Ghrelin gene expression is markedly higher in fetal pancreas compared with fetal stomach: effect of maternal fasting.
Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide secreted mainly by the stomach in adult rats. Ghrelin concentrations increase with fasting and decrease after food intake. Ghrelin is also present in the placenta and in the fetal stomach, but the role of fetal ghrelin remains unclear. In this study, we compared changes in plasma ghrelin, insulin, and glucose concentrations and in ghrelin gene expression in stom...

متن کاملEffect of Guided Imagery on Maternal Fetal Attachment in Nulliparous Women with Unplanned Pregnancy
Introduction and Objectives: Nulliparous women with unplanned pregnancy experience high levels of anxiety, which may adversely affect maternal-fetal attachment. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the effect of guided imagery on maternal-fetal attachment in nulliparous women with unplanned pregnancy. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 67 nulliparous women with unplanned ...
متن کاملFetal Growth Is Associated with Maternal Fasting Plasma Glucose at First Prenatal Visit
AIMS Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration measured at the first prenatal visit is a predictor of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, whether this test is indicative of fetal growth has not been clarified. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether birth weight and birth length were related to FPG levels at the first prenatal visit. MATERIALS AND METHODS Research ...
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.
