Maternal diet and programming of embryo and fetal development in the mouse
Plasticity is a prominent feature of early development, and is necessary to allow the fetus in utero to adapt to the continual variation in nutrient and oxygen supply it receives from the mother. In contrast to adaptations made in adult life, those made during fetal life tend to become permanent …

Impacts of maternal dietary fat intake on fetal development in an ovine model
Maternal diet during pregnancy can influence fetal development and may have lasting effects on offspring health and disease risk trajectory. Intake of dietary fatty acids has been a major focus in the biomedical and epidemiological literature given concerns about the adverse effects of excessive …

Effect of Maternal Hypoxia on Fetal Development: Programming of HIE Phenotype in Neonatal Rat Brain
<p>Developmental programming of health and disease correlates the adverse intrauterine environment and the risk of disease later in life as cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, renal dysfunction or neurobehavioral disorders among others. Maternal hypoxia is one of the most common …

Interleukin-6 Supplementation Improves Post-Transfer Embryonic and Early Fetal Development of in vitro Produced Bovine Embryos
… influences post-transfer embryonic survival and development of the embryo-proper and fetus. Four replicates of slaughterhouse-derived cumulus oocyte complexes underwent in vitro maturation and fertilization. On day 5 post-fertilization, embryos were treated with either 1% Bovine Serum Albumin …

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 …

Identification of Unique Hematopoietic Stem Cell Properties
… in most cases the reported efficiency of such developmental plasticity has been rather low. We demonstrate that HSCs efficiently engraft within the infarcted myocardium following transplantation. However, engraftment is transitory and hematopoietic in nature. Our findings challenge the …

The views and perceptions of maternity patients on domestic violence
… the best possible outcome during the growth and development of their unborn children, during all the phases, which include conception as well as the embryonic and fetal development phases. Unfortunately being pregnant does not exclude women from being subjected to violence

Alcohol consumption, wantedness, and support of pregnant adolescents
… the effects of moderate and binge drinking on fetal development. Subjects consisted of 14 to 19 year old patients of the High-Risk Ob/Gyn Clinic at Roanoke Memorial Hospitals. These patients were predominantly low income urban and suburban teens, with some referrals from areas outside Roanoke …

Post-Transfer Outcomes in Cultured Bovine Embryos Supplemented with Epidermal Growth Factor, Fibroblast Growth Factor 2, and Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1
… for improving in vitro derived bovine embryo development and trophectoderm cell numbers. The objectives of this work were to determine if EFI treatment during in vitro bovine embryo culture improves transferable embryo quality and post-transfer placental and fetal development. For each …

Modelling Prenatal Hypoxia As A Risk Factor For Schizophrenia Vulnerability In Patient-Derived Cerebral Organoids
Prenatal hypoxia during fetal development is a significant environmental risk factor linked to schizophrenia (SCZ) vulnerability. However, hypoxia’s impact on human brain development at the cellular level remains unclear. Our laboratory has developed human cerebral organoids using induced …

THE VASCULAR RESPONSE WITHIN THE ISLET DURING BETA CELL DEVELOPMENT AND REGENERATION
The fetal development of the islets of Langerhans is dependent on bidirectional signalling with the surrounding capillary bed, to develop into the appropriate cell type. The neonatal rat pancreas undergoes a developmental β cell turnover that involves the apoptosis of immature β cells and their …

Characterization Of Pregnancy Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy In Rats
… in blood volume occurs to compensate for fetal development, resulting in cardiac hypertrophy. For the majority of women, this physiological cardiac hypertrophy resolves following pregnancy. Prolonged cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure. We propose that by studying the biochemical …

Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Trophoblast Stem Cell Differentiation
… of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), placental development, and subsequent pregnancy outcome. To address this question, I first used an in vitro mouse TSC model. Morphological observations suggest that upon ER stress, TSCs lose stemness by differentiating into specialized trophoblast cell …

Oocyte differentiation is genetically dissociable from the meiotic program in mice
Oogenesis is a developmental program by which a gametogenesis-competent germ cell becomes a fertilization-competent egg. During oogenesis, growth and differentiation of oocytes are closely coordinated with initiation and progression through meiosis. In mammals, the timing of meiotic initiation is …

The impact of placental SLC2A3 (GLUT-3) RNA interference on fetal growth and physiology at mid-gestation in sheep
Glucose is the primary energy substrate for fetal oxidative processes and growth. In order for glucose to be transported from maternal to fetal circulation in the ruminant placenta, it must be sequentially transported by SLC2A1 (GLUT-1) on the maternal-fetal syncytial layer, then by SLC2A3 (GLUT-3) …
