چکیده

The placenta is critical for nourishing the fetus throughout pregnancy, and also produces hormones that alter the metabolic functions of the mother. While the effects of nutrition on fetal development and long-term outcome have been very well documented, there are only a few reports based on studies in rat, sheep, and guinea pigs on how specific nutrients or general nutritional status affect the development of the blastocyst, its implantation, and the subsequent placenta. The data suggest that placental development is highly adaptable and that many types of compensation are possible for suboptimal nutrition.

The effect of an acute dose of biotin at a post-implantation stage and its relation with female sex steriods in the rat.

An acute dose (10 mg/100 g body weight) of biotin at the post-implantation stage (day 14 and 15) inhibited the fetal and placental growth, and in few rats it also caused resorption of fetuses and placentae. The maintenance of pregnancy with normal fetal and placental growth was effected with estrogen therapy, but progesterone failed to correct the biotin-induced effect. The uterine and placenta...

Is Placental Mitochondrial Function a Regulator that Matches Fetal and Placental Growth to Maternal Nutrient Intake in the Mouse?

BACKGROUND Effective fetal growth requires adequate maternal nutrition coupled to active transport of nutrients across the placenta, which, in turn requires ATP. Epidemiological and experimental evidence has shown that impaired maternal nutrition in utero results in an adverse postnatal phenotype for the offspring. Placental mitochondrial function might link maternal food intake to fetal growth...

P-95: Influences of Metabolic and Nutritional Status on IVF Outcomes

Background: The aim of our study was to determine the metabolic profile: glucose, triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and cholesterol (CHT) in women undergoing ART (Assisted reproductive technology) cycles and estimate its effect on In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) outcomes Materials and Methods: Forty three women undergoing IVF treatment were included in the study. Patients were all...

Maternal high-fat diet is associated with impaired fetal lung development.

Maternal nutrition has a profound long-term impact on infant health. Poor maternal nutrition influences placental development and fetal growth, resulting in low birth weight, which is strongly associated with the risk of developing chronic diseases, including heart disease, hypertension, asthma, and type 2 diabetes, later in life. Few studies have delineated the mechanisms by which maternal nut...

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors under epigenetic control in placental metabolism and fetal development.

The placental metabolism can adapt to the environment throughout pregnancy to both the demands of the fetus and the signals from the mother. Such adaption processes include epigenetic mechanisms, which alter gene expression and may influence the offspring's health. These mechanisms are linked to the diversity of prenatal environmental exposures, including maternal under- or overnutrition or ges...
