Fetal origins of cardiovascular dysfunction in an ovine model of maternal obesity in pregnancy
… dysfunction in the offspring originates in fetal life remains under-investigated. To address this knowledge gap, we generated a novel ovine model of maternal diet-induced obesity during pregnancy to investigate its impacts on fetal cardiovascular physiology. We adopted an integrative …

The impact of suboptimal maternal diet on fetal heart development: Identifying targets for intervention
… metabolic, and contractile profiles within the fetal heart. Across studies, it was highlighted that high-risk cardiac phenotypes are present even with normal fetal body weight, challenging the traditional view that birth weight is a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Mechanisms …

CONTRIBUTIONS OF PRENATAL INFECTION AND ANTIBIOTIC EXPOSURE TO OFFSPRING INFECTION AND ASTHMA RISK
… antibiotic exposure. These findings suggest fetal origins of offspring infection and asthma risk.

Effect of Maternal Hypoxia on the Cerebral and Cardiac Tissue Remodeling
… of this project is to test the hypothesis that fetal hypoxia causes reprogramming of MMPs and TIMPs expression patterns and activities leading to aberrant brain and heart development in the fetuses and neonates. In the first part of project, we tested the hypothesis that maternal hypoxia …

Prenatal Conditions and the Timing of Pregnancies
… of pregnancies to avoid foreseeable threats to fetal health, and the implications for the relationship between prenatal conditions and long-run outcomes. The first chapter contains a summary of the existing research on the timing of pregnancies and provides a framework for analyzing the …

AEROBIC FITNESS AND THE RENIN ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM IN ADOLESCENTS BORN PRETERM WITH VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
… relationship may be partly attributable to the fetal origins of adult disease (FOAD) hypothesis, which proposes that adverse events during key developmental windows alter organ system structure and function that promotes survival in the short-term, but may be detrimental in the long-term, …

Typhoons and Lower Birth Weight in the Philippines
<p>Do typhoons impact birth weights of infants exposed to a typhoon while in utero? This research exploits the exogeneity and randomness of typhoons in the Philippines to estimate the impact of typhoon exposure as determined by wind speed on birth weights. Using four waves of the Demographic and …
