A foetal energy balance equation based on maternal exercise and diet.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Empirical data indicate that the maternal diet composition has a direct impact on foetal fat mass and resulting birth weights. Weight-bearing maternal exercise influences the placental volume, which has also been correlated to birth weight. A foetal energy balance equation, based on the first law of thermodynamics, that incorporates maternal diet and exercise is developed. Model parameters and validity are evaluated using published data.

متن کاملDietary Proteins, Developmental Programming, and Potential Implication in Maternal Obesity
Background: Proteins are known mainly based on their metabolic and nutritional functions including protein synthesis and a source of energy. In spite of various physiological properties attributed to proteins, their functions have neither been addressed by assessing quality of proteins nor by nutrition and dietetic practices. Methods: Studies were included if they were randomized animal studies...

In summary, foetal and placental metabolisms have certain characteristics which appear to bridge species differences. The consumption of carbohydrate and amino acids by the foetal lamb is adequate to meet the energy, C and N requirements of the foetus both for oxidated metabolism and for growth. Techniques to study foetal or maternal metabolism or both under conditions of a biological steady st...
متن کاملWeight Management for Athletes and Active Individuals: A Brief Review
Weight management for athletes and active individuals is unique because of their high daily energy expenditure; thus, the emphasis is usually placed on changing the diet side of the energy balance equation. When dieting for weight loss, active individuals also want to preserve lean tissue, which means that energy restriction cannot be too severe or lean tissue is lost. First, this brief review ...
متن کاملAtypical antipsychotics, maternal and child outcomes: A critical review
Introduction Atypical antipsychotics are increasingly prescribed for women suffering affective and non-affective psychoses during the antenatal and postnatal period. The level of evidence for psychopharmacological treatment during pregnancy with these agents is generally poor, especially on maternal, foetal and infant outcomes. The aim is to summarize the current evidence on the use of atypical...
