Fetal Programming of Newborn TL
… evidence that TL reflects experiences during fetal development. However, the link between maternal mental health during pregnancy and offspring aging is understudied, and there are several methodological constraints in existing literature that limit the interpretation of recent findings. The …

Fetal programming of renal morphology and function
… vulnerable to the adverse effects of fetal growth retarding influences. In animals growth retarding diets or other insults, which have an impact on the development of cardiovascular functions, also appear to impact upon nephron number. In this study, the feeding of a 9% casein diet to …

The Effect of Fetal Programming on Physical Activity Behaviors
<p>Appropriate fetal growth and development largely depends on the health and nutritional status of the mother. Exposure to a stressful intra-uterine environment leads to a series of adjustments, known as fetal programming, which have both short- and long-term implications. Immediately, the growth …

Fetal programming effects of early weaning on subsequent calf performance
Mature Simmental × Angus cows (n = 147; BW = 590 ± 72 kg) were used to evaluate the effects of early weaning on subsequent calf growth performance and carcass characteristics. Cows were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments based on their previous calf’s weaning age: 1) early wean (EW) or 2) conventional …

Fetal Programming and Later Obesity in a Predominantly Latino WIC Population
<p><strong>Background:</strong> In utero stressors may work to program the metabolism of the developing fetus in such a way that predisposes him/her to obesity later on. Studies have shown that breastfeeding is protective against childhood obesity and suggest that after six months the weight gain …

Alterations in the Brain Renin-Angiotensin System in a Model of Fetal Programming
… BM therapy are of benefit to the offspring, as fetal steroid exposure decreases infant mortality by accelerating lung and gastrointestinal tract development and activating the sympathetic nervous system. However, fetal steroid exposure may lead to elevated mean arterial pressure and decreased …

Trace mineral supplementation in cattle: Implications in heifer development, reproductive performance, and fetal programming
… on heifer development, reproductive success, fetal growth, and long term productivity of beef cattle. Recently data have suggested that organic or chelated trace minerals may improve growth, reproduction, and health traits in ruminants. To evaluate the effect of supplementing two different …

The effects of a yeast probiotic, saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii, on common sow stressors and their effect on maternal-fetal programming
… during this research; rather, the maternal-fetal interaction was analyzed to assess the effects of the treatment given to the sows on the resulting immune status and stress responsiveness of the progeny. When presented with a challenge, such as farrowing and weaning stress in sows or …

NEUROINFLAMMATION AND SEX-DEPENDENT SIGNALING WITHIN THE DORSAL MEDULLA IN A MODEL OF FETAL PROGRAMMING: EFFECTS OF ANGIOTENSIN-(1-7) SUPPLEMENTATION
… BM therapy are beneficial to the offspring, as fetal steroid exposure accelerates lung development and activates the sympathetic nervous system. However, recent longitudinal studies have shown that prenatal exposure to betamethasone caused an increased susceptibility to developing cardiovascular …

Effects of Recombinant Endothelial Growth Factor 121 Therapy on Maternal Vascular Function and Vascular Fetal Programming in a Mouse Model of Preeclampsia
… maternal vascular dysfunction and altered fetal vascular programming in the preeclampsia-like pregnant mice overexpressing sFlt-1. The therapy had beneficial effects including inhibition of circulating sFlt-1, reduction of maternal blood pressure, amelioration of endothelial function, and …

Fetal programming in cattle: the effects of varying maternal protein intake in adolescent beef heifers on fetal and postnatal growth and development of the calf
… status during gestation influences the fetal development, postnatal growth pathways and metabolism and reproductive development of the offspring. Wide variation in pasture quality and quantity available for the cow herd throughout the breeding season and during gestation is common in …

La glycémie maternelle en grossesse et la leptine dans le sang de cordon : des déterminants de l’adiposité dans l’enfance
… risk factors such as genetics. This is the fetal programming of childhood obesity, and a better understanding of its role would allow to identify the risk factors involved and treat them preventively before the fetus acquires developmental adaptations. 2nd trimester glucose levels and cord …

Prenatal exposure to maternal obesity and SFLT-1 overexpression and cardiovascular function in the adult offspring
… proposed a hypothesis that poor nutrition in the fetal or early neonatal period increases susceptibility to the negative effects of an affluent diet during adulthood. Overall, there is little understanding of the exact mechanisms of the developmental origin of adult disease, but it is recognized …

Role of SFLT-1 in vascular regulation in pregnancy and its effect on fetal vascular programming
… disease, as well as a gender-dependent effect in fetal programming. Hence, this animal model provided an approach to study not only the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and but also fetal vascular programming.\r\n

Imprinted Gene Expression and Phenotype of Bovine Concepti with Bos taurus and Bos indicus Genetics
… postnatal phenotype, a process which is known as fetal programming. Most studies in the area of fetal programming have focused on the epigenetic link between intrauterine environment and fetal phenotype, and genetic programming of variation in pre- and postnatal growth traits remains largely …

Prenatal dexamethasone exposure: glucocrticoid programming of the brain
… This phenomenon has been studied and known as ‘fetal programming of adult diseases’. According to the theory, environmental insults occurring at critical periods of pregnancy can permanently alter the structure and physiology of the developing organs, and may lead to adverse functional …

Maternal Adverse Childhood Experiences and Infant DNA Methylation: Examining an Epigenetic Biomarker of Intergenerational Risk
… was conducted, utilizing data obtained from the Fetal Programming (FetalPro) cohort study, a sub-set of participants in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) study. APrON study participants were voluntary, and all pregnant women were over 16-years-old and before 22 weeks of …

Äidin raskaudenaikaisen masennuksen yhteys lapsen temperamenttipiirteisiin kuuden kuukauden iässä
Prenatal conditions alter fetal development in ways that may have long-term effects on the child's later physical and psychological development and health. According to the fetal programming hypothesis, the environment of the uterus may permanently affect the structure and operation of the organs …

Effects of mid-gestational L-citrulline supplementation to twin-bearing ewes on umbilical blood flow, placental development, and lamb production traits
… effects. Our interest is to use this concept of fetal programming to improve skeletal muscle development and meat production in ruminants. To achieve this, we targeted the period of gestation when fetal muscle fiber formation occurs. Primary muscle fibers form during embryonic development, and it …

Prenatal and postnatal nutritional influences on leptin sensitivity and susceptibility to diet-induced obesity in the rat
The developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis suggests that exposure to adverse prenatal environmental influences can determine an individual’s susceptibility to obesity in adult life. However, the specific causal mechanisms which underlie this hypothesis have yet to be identified. …
