Maternal undernutrition during mid-pregnancy in sheep. Placental size and its relationship to calcium transfer during late pregnancy.
The aim of the present experiment was to determine the relationship between placental and fetal weight after placental growth had been retarded by maternal undernutrition. Placental weight and fetal weight were measured in single-lamb-bearing ewes which were well-fed throughout pregnancy, or severely undernourished between the 30th and 96th day of pregnancy. Placental transfer of calcium and wh...
متن کاملMaternal zinc supplementation does not affect size at birth or pregnancy duration in Peru.
To estimate the effect of maternal zinc deficiency on pregnancy outcomes, we conducted a zinc supplementation trial in an urban shantytown in Lima, Peru, a population with habitual low zinc intakes. Beginning at 10-24 wk gestation, 1295 mothers were randomly assigned to receive prenatal supplements containing 60 mg iron and 250 (g folate, with or without 15 mg zinc. Women were followed up month...
متن کاملCurrent perception threshold increases during pregnancy but does not change across menstrual cycle.
It is well known that pregnancy reduces anesthetic requirements in response to various noxious stimuli. However, there have been no detailed reports concerning functional changes in nerve fibers during pregnancy. Using a Neurometer, a recently available commercial quantitative sensory monitor, we measured current perception threshold (CPT) values for three frequencies corresponding to the stimu...
متن کاملExogenous GH infusion to late-gestational fetal sheep does not alter fetal growth and metabolism.
The role of GH in the regulation of fetal growth and metabolism in late gestation is not well defined. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of exogenous GH infusion on fetal growth and feto-placental metabolism in the normally growing late-gestation fetal sheep. Eleven fetuses received pulsatile GH infusion (3.5 mg/day) for 10 days while 12 control fetuses received vehicle. The GH...
متن کاملDietary exposure to genistein increases vasopressin but does not alter beta-endorphin in the rat hypothalamus.
Genistein is a plant-derived estrogenic isoflavone commonly found in soy-based products such as soymilk and soy-based dietary supplements for treating menopausal symptoms, for example. Vasopressin is a neurosecretory nonapeptide synthesized primarily in neurons of the hypothalamus and secreted into the bloodstream from the posterior lobe of the pituitary. The endogenous opiate peptide beta-endo...
