The Fetal Origins Hypothesis (FOH), put forward in the epidemiological literature and later flourished in the economics literature, suggests that the time in utero is a critical period for human development. However, much attention has been paid to the consequences of fetal exposures to more extreme natural shocks, while less is known about fetal exposures to milder but more commonly experience...

objective: in previous studies it has been emphasized that the site of morphine action may be either in the embryo or the placenta. in the present study, we attempt to identify the site of morphine action on the fetal section of wistar rat placenta by using c14-morphine. materials and methods: in this study (experimental), female wistar rats (weights: 170-200 g) were mated with male rats and th...

Previous research has revealed that the human fetus responds to sound, but to date there has been little systematic investigation of the development of fetal hearing. The development of fetal behavioural responsiveness to pure tone auditory stimuli (100 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 3000 Hz) was examined from 19 to 35 weeks of gestational age. Stimuli were presented by a loudspeaker placed o...

The ontogeny of fetal autonomic, motoric, state, and interactive functioning was investigated longitudinally in a sample of 31 healthy fetuses from 20 weeks through term. Fetal heart rate and movement data were collected during 50 min of doppler-based fetal monitoring at 6 gestational ages. Measures of fetal heart rate and variability, activity level and vigor, behavioral state, and reactivity ...

us damages to the ovary storage and the matrix muscle state. some of these patients may admit to infertility clinics for having pregnancy and on the other hand hormonal administration for superovulation induction is a routine procedure in assisted reproduction technology (art) clinics.objective: this study aimed to investigate fertility and fetuses of hormone treated super ovulated female mice ...

Background: Previous studies have shown that morphine consumption during pregnancy may delay embryo development or cause abnormal nervous system function .The most attention of research focuses on the embryo, whereas it was not attended to the placenta as an important organ which is affected by opioides. The present study focused on the effect of maternal morphine consumption on development of ...
