A Critical Evaluation of the Fetal Origins Hypothesis and Its Implications for Developing Countries Modeling Fetal Adaptation to Nutrient Restriction: Testing the Fetal Origins Hypothesis with a Supply-Demand Model
The fetal origins hypothesis (FOH) posits that fetal adaptations to nutritional insufficiency elevate future risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although birth weight (BW) remains the most commonly used index of fetal nutritional sufficiency in FOH research, it is a poor index of fetal nutrition because it is also influenced by genes, epigenetic effects and other nonnutritional factors. This...
متن کاملFuel selection: the maternal adaptation to fetal nutrient demand.
The necessity to accommodate the developmental and fuel requirements of the fetus confers upon the pregnant mother a considerable nutritional burden. Pregnancy is thus a state in which the maternal response to feeding and fasting is substantially modified to ensure a constant supply of glucose for the developing fetus, while maintaining the glucose and energy requirements of the mother. One of ...
متن کاملReview: Adaptation in placental nutrient supply to meet fetal growth demand: implications for programming.
This review considers the hypothesis that adaptations in blood flow, exchange surface area and transporter activity enable placental supply capacity to meet fetal demand and cause alterations in fetal composition which result in life-long programming of homeostatic set points. We consider the components of placental supply capacity and describe the predominant changes each of these could impose...
متن کاملKilling Me Softly: The Fetal Origins Hypothesis.
In the epidemiological literature, the fetal origins hypothesis associated with David J. Barker posits that chronic, degenerative conditions of adult health, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes, may be triggered by circumstance decades earlier, in utero nutrition in particular. Economists have expanded on this hypothesis, investigating a broader range of fetal shocks and circumstances a...
متن کاملAdaptation of nutrient supply to fetal demand in the mouse involves interaction between the Igf2 gene and placental transporter systems.
The mammalian fetus is unique in its dependence during gestation on the supply of maternal nutrients through the placenta. Maternal supply and fetal demand for nutrients need to be fine tuned for healthy growth and development of the fetus along its genetic trajectory. An altered balance between supply and demand can lead to deviations from this trajectory with long-term consequences for health...
