The Placenta Methylome: Novel Insights into DNA Modifications in the Human Placenta
The DNA methylation profile of the placenta is unique as compared to other somatic tissues and is marked by global hypomethylation. The placental methylome has been shown to modulate developmental processes, intrauterine exposures, and placental function. However, the precise mechanisms underlying …

Regulation of glucose transporters in sheep placenta
Transplacental glucose transport is vital to fetal growth. Although the presence of glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1) and GLUT3 has been demonstrated in mammalian placenta, the factors regulating these genes remain unclear. Therefore, the overall aim of these studies was to clone ovine GLUT1 (oGLUT1) …

The placenta and cardiovascular disease: A meta-analysis
… the nutrients and conditions delivered via the placenta, and as such the placenta plays a vital role in the establishment and maintenance of appropriate uterine conditions. Unfavourable uterine conditions such as an inadequate resource flow from the placenta can lead to diminished growth of the …

Gene and Protein Profiling of the Preeclamptic Placenta
… methodology was used to screen and profile the placenta, gene and protein expression, for changes related to preeclampsia (PE) and cases with increased resistance in the uterine arteries. Women with increased resistance in the uterine arteries have increased risk of developing PE. Since not all …

Adaptation to environmental stress in the human placenta
The placenta mediates fetal growth by acting as a substrate for nutrient exchange between the mother and the fetus. Environmental factors such as altitude have been shown to result in reduced maternal-fetal exchange leading to reduced birth weight. To determine if differences in gene expression …

Patient charactaristics and outcomes in antepartum haemorrhage due to placenta praevia and abruptio placenta at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
Background: Placenta praevia and Abruptio placenta are the two major causes of antepartum haemorrhage worldwide including Zambia. They contribute significantly to obstetric haemorrhage, which is a leading cause of maternal mortality in Zambia. Objective: To explore patient characteristics and …

Development Of Trophoblast Lined Blood Spaces In The Mouse Placenta
… ability to form pseudo-vascular spaces in the placenta. Proper development of these maternal blood spaces is crucial for successful pregnancy outcomes. Unlike blood vessels in other organs, the vascular space in placenta is line by non-endothelial TGCs. Previous work in Cross lab has …

Maternal complication risk factors in patients with placenta previa totalis
"목적: 전치태반은 임신 후반기 출혈 원인 중 하나로 주산기 이환 및 사망을 증가 시킨다. 이에 전치태반의 형태 중 임신 예후가 가장 불량한 완전 전치태반이 있는 산모를 대상으로 주산기 합병증을 산전에 예측할 수 있는 인자들을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상 및 방법: 1994년 6월부터 2004년 7월까지 아주대학교 병원 산부인과에서 완전 전치태반으로 진단된 산모 중, 본원에서 분만하여 추적 관찰이 가능했던 315명을 대상으로 하였다. 완전 전치태반은 본원 내원시 초음파검사에서 진단되어 분만전까지 완전 전치태반이 유지된 경우로 …

Identification and characterization of luteotrophic activity in the rabbit placenta
… pregnancy. The factor produced by the fetal placenta which is responsible for maintaining progesterone production has not been conclusively identified. Therefore, the focus of this thesis was to identify and characterize the luteotrophic activity in the rabbit placenta.

Improving Segmentation and Registration of the Placenta in BOLD MRI
… Dependent (BOLD) MRI images are used to study placental oxygen transport. To analyze the time series dataset of BOLD MRI images of the whole uterus for placental function, we need to segment the placenta in the images and register the images to a common template. In the following thesis, we …

Mechanisms controlling in vitro progesterone synthesis by the ovine placenta
… during the first third of gestation and by the placenta during the last two-thirds of gestation. There have been few investigations of in vitro synthesis of progesterone by the ovine placenta or of mechanisms controlling placental steroidogenesis. Weekly blood samples were collected from ten …

Characterization of the Placenta-Specific 8.1 Gene Function during Zebrafish Embryogenesis
<p>The PLAC8 gene encodes for a small, cysteine-rich protein conserved in vertebrates that is a member of a large family of PLAC8-motif containing proteins with diverse functions in animals, plants, and algae. Recently, high levels of PLAC8 expression have been detected in aggressive colorectal …
