Effects of periconceptional undernutrition on maternal taurine concentrations in sheep.
Taurine has an important role in numerous physiological processes, including many aspects of fetal development such as development of the pancreas and brain, and requirements increase during pregnancy. Periconceptional undernutrition has long-term effects on pancreas and brain function of the offspring, but the effects on maternal taurine economy are unknown. We, therefore, studied the effects ...
متن کاملMaternal and Child Undernutrition 1 Maternal and child undernutrition: global and regional exposures and health consequences
Maternal and child undernutrition is highly prevalent in low-income and middle-income countries, resulting in substantial increases in mortality and overall disease burden. In this paper, we present new analyses to estimate the effects of the risks related to measures of undernutrition, as well as to suboptimum breastfeeding practices on mortality and disease. We estimated that stunting, severe...
متن کاملMaternal and child undernutrition: an urgent opportunity.
Nutrition is a desperately neglected aspect of maternal, newborn, and child health. The reasons for this neglect are understandable but not justifiable. When one considers specific actions to improve maternal and child survival, one is drawn to particular interventions— vaccination, oral rehydration therapy, and the treatment of infection and haemorrhage. In recent years, this portfolio of resp...
متن کاملMaternal nutrition and prenatal growth. Experimental studies of effects of maternal undernutrition on fetal and placental growth.
We have known for some time that normal growth is not simply a uniform process of getting larger proportionately in all tissues (Scammon, 1930). The reproductive system, for example, achieves almost all of its growth during the few years of adolescence. The brain achieves a significant amount of its growth prenatally and reaches 60% of its total mass by 2 years of age in the human. Such mass me...
متن کاملLong-Lasting Effects of Undernutrition
Undernutrition is one of the most important public health problems, affecting more than 900 million individuals around the World. It is responsible for the highest mortality rate in children and has long-lasting physiologic effects, including an increased susceptibility to fat accumulation mostly in the central region of the body, lower fat oxidation, lower resting and postprandial energy expen...
