Placental leptin gene methylation and macrosomia during normal pregnancy.
The present study examined the placental leptin (LEP) DNA methylation and mRNA levels in macrosomic infants from normal pregnancies. In total, 49 neonates with macrosomia, i.e., high birth weights of ≥ 4,000 g, and 52 neonates with normal birth weights between 2,500 g and 4,000 g were recruited from The Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (Wenzhou, Zhejiang) in China. Place...
متن کاملA stochastic model for early placental development†
In the human, placental structure is closely related to placental function and consequent pregnancy outcome. Studies have noted abnormal placental shape in small-for-gestational-age infants which extends to increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease. The origins and determinants of placental shape are incompletely understood and are difficult to study in vivo. In this paper, we model the...
متن کاملStanniocalcin Has Deep Evolutionary Roots in Eukaryotes
Vertebrates have a large glycoprotein hormone, stanniocalcin, which originally was shown to inhibit calcium uptake from the environment in teleost fish gills. Later, humans, other mammals, and teleost fish were shown to have two forms of stanniocalcin (STC1 and STC2) that were widely distributed in many tissues. STC1 is associated with calcium and phosphate homeostasis and STC2 with phosphate, ...
متن کاملLow dietary protein during early pregnancy alters bovine placental development.
To determine if low dietary protein concentration in the first two trimesters of pregnancy alters placental development, genetically similar heifers from closed herd were fed diets containing different levels of protein in the first and second trimesters of gestation. There were four animals per treatment group, the groups being: L/L = fed a diet containing 7% crude protein (CP) (low protein) i...
متن کاملActivin signalling has a necessary function in Xenopus early development
The first signalling event in Xenopus development is the mesoderm-forming (or Nieuwkoop) induction, starting three hours after fertilization [1]. Two prime candidates for the molecule that mediates this signalling are activin [2] and Vg1 [3], both members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) family. Because genetic methods are not available for amphibian studies, 'dominant-negative'...
