Uterine artery blood flow, fetal hypoxia and fetal growth.
Evolutionary trade-offs required for bipedalism and brain expansion influence the pregnancy rise in uterine artery (UtA) blood flow and, in turn, reproductive success. We consider the importance of UtA blood flow by reviewing its determinants and presenting data from 191 normotensive (normal, n = 125) or hypertensive (preeclampsia (PE) or gestational hypertension (GH), n = 29) Andean residents ...

متن کاملChronic alterations in ovine maternal corticosteroid levels influence uterine blood flow and placental and fetal growth.
Previous work from this laboratory demonstrated that the elevation of maternal plasma corticosteroid concentrations during pregnancy is important for the support of fetal development. Reducing ovine maternal plasma cortisol concentrations to nonpregnant levels stimulates homeostatic responses that defend fetal blood volume. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that chronic decr...
متن کاملFirst Trimester Uterine Artery Doppler, Placental Volume and Ductus Venosus Blood Flow as Predictors of Third Trimester Fetal Growth Parameters
To evaluate the potentials of the first trimester uterine artery Doppler, placental volume measurement and ductus venosus blood flow as predictors of third trimester fetal growth parameters. This study was a prospective-observational study, conducted on 200 pregnant women, during a period of 2 years starting from June 1st 2013 till May 30th 2015, in order to evaluate the potentials of the first...
متن کاملAugmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect Andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth.
The effect of high altitude on reducing birth weight is markedly less in populations of high- (e.g., Andeans) relative to low-altitude origin (e.g., Europeans). Uterine artery (UA) blood flow is greater during pregnancy in Andeans than Europeans at high altitude; however, it is not clear whether such blood flow differences play a causal role in ancestry-associated variations in fetal growth. We...
