Metabolism of the Fetus during Pregnancy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Fetal metabolism is an extremely important function of the fetus and is assumed to help in maintaining its growth and development and a great deal of it is now known to many researchers. In spite of possessing insight and knowhow’s of fetal metabolism, there is still no direct co-relation about the influence of the fetal metabolism and its effect in the control on the fetal growth, development and maturation process. The three most important factors that are assumed to control the fetal growth and development are the maternal supply of nutrients and hormones to the fetus via the mother’s own metabolic activities along with the transplacental exchange and blood supply. The third important criterion is the indigenous fetal metabolism itself. (1)

متن کاملMetabolism in normal pregnancy
During pregnancy, the mother adapts her metabolism to ensure the continuous supply of nutrients to the fetus in order to sustain its exponential growth. Among those nutrients crossing the placenta, glucose is quantitatively the most important, followed by amino acids. Although lipids cross the placenta in much lower proportion than the other nutrients, maternal lipid metabolism is consistently ...
متن کاملContinuing education module-maternal calcium intake and metabolism during pregnancy and lactation.
Calcium is an essential nutrient during pregnancy and lactation. Calcium contributes to bone development in the fetus and neonate and is considered a critical nutrient. Physiological changes in calcium metabolism occur during pregnancy and lactation. Some women may lose some of their bone density during pregnancy and/or lactation, and then regain it after the cessation of lactation. Implication...
متن کاملIndoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Immunological Tolerance during Pregnancy
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme involved in the catabolism of tryptophan, is expressed by a variety of cells and tissues such as macrophages, dendritic cells, cells of the endocrine system and by the placenta. IFN- γ is the main inducer of this enzyme. IDO acts as an important defense mechanism of innate immunity against pathogens. It also has tumor suppressive activity and prolong...
