Factors Influencing Fetal Growth and Birth Weight in Cattle

رفتارهای دلبستگی پدر به جنین و عوامل مرتبط با آن

Abstract Background and purpose: Paternal-fetal attachment behaviors areexpectantfather’s feelingtowards his unborn baby. These behaviors play very important roles in paternal identity, pregnancy outcome, and future growth and development of the baby. The severities of these behaviors are different between fathers and depend on many factors. The aim of this study was to assess paternal-fetal...

Extrinsic Factors Influencing Fetal Deformations and Intrauterine Growth Restriction

The causes of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are multifactorial with both intrinsic and extrinsic influences. While many studies focus on the intrinsic pathological causes, the possible long-term consequences resulting from extrinsic intrauterine physiological constraints merit additional consideration and further investigation. Infants with IUGR can exhibit early symmetric or late asym...

Invited review: mechanochemical signal transduction in the fetal lung.

Growth and maturation of fetal lungs are regulated by both humoral and physical factors. Mechanical stretch stimulates fetal lung cell proliferation and affects fetal lung maturation by influencing the production of extracellular matrix molecules and the expression of specific genes of fetal lung cells. These effects are mediated through special signal transduction pathways in fetal lung cells....
