Fetal responses to placental insufficiency: an update.
Disturbance of normal fetal growth can result in a decrease in weight, or altered body proportion at birth. Fetuses that fail to reach their genetically predetermined growth potential due to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) following placental insufficiency are at increased risk for adverse short and long term outcomes that can extend all the way into adult life. Because of its diverse im...

متن کاملFetal and placental responses to artificially induced hyperthermia in rats.
Pregnant rats were utilized to study the effect of maternal hyperthermia on fetal development. Eight groups of six to eight rats were exposed to ambient temperatures of 43-44 degrees C at various stages of pregnancy. All rats were killed on day 20 of gestation. Edema, microencephaly and microphthalmia followed heat treatment on day 4, 6, or 8 and skeletal defects occurred on day 10 of gestation...
متن کاملFetal neurobehavioral development: associations with socioeconomic class and fetal sex.
This longitudinal study investigated neurobehavioral development in the human fetus from 24 to 36 weeks gestation. Subject (N=103) were stratified by socioeconomic class. Fetal data were collected for 50 min at three intervals, and included measures of heart rate, movement, and biobehavioral patterns. Repeated measures analysis of variance by fetal sex and maternal socioeconomic status was used...
متن کاملPlacental DNA methylation as a proxy for fetal neurodevelopment and sex-specific associations with in utero particulate air pollution
Background and aims Exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution during pregnancy may affect human fetal development. Epigenetic mechanisms are believed to play an essential role in the developmental changes during early life. Within the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort, we investigated whether in utero exposure to PM is associated with differences in placental DNA methylation of genes involved in ...
