Placental Growth, Fetal Growth and Maternal RhE Genotype
The Rh locus is composed of two genes RhD, which encodes the major D antigen and is present only in Rh-positive genomes, and RhCE, which encodes both the Cc and Ee polypeptides, most likely by alternative splicing events. Several membrane components, including Rh proteins and other glycoproteins recently characterized, are probably different subunits of an oligomeric complex with transport func...
متن کاملPlacental mTOR links maternal nutrient availability to fetal growth.
The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signalling pathway functions as a nutrient sensor, both in individual cells and, more globally, in organs such as the fat body in Drosophila and the hypothalamus in the rat. The activity of placental amino acid transporters is decreased in IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction), and recent experimental evidence suggests that these changes contribute dire...
متن کاملMaternal growth factor regulation of human placental development and fetal growth.
Normal development and function of the placenta is critical to achieving a successful pregnancy, as normal fetal growth depends directly on the transfer of nutrients from mother to fetus via this organ. Recently, it has become apparent from both animal and human studies that growth factors within the maternal circulation, for example the IGFs, are important regulators of placental development a...
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 کاملPlacental nutrient supply and fetal growth.
This review considers mechanisms by which transfer across the placenta takes place and how the capacity of the placenta to supply nutrients relates to fetal growth and vice versa. Blood flow through both uterine and umbilical circulations of the placenta, the structural properties of the placental exchange barrier and its related diffusional permeability, and the expression and activity of a wi...
