Our aim was to determine the effects of chronic placental insufficiency (CPI) during late gestation on the expression of neurotrophic factors and their receptors in the hippocampus and cerebellum in the near-term fetus. Structural alterations were also assessed in these brain regions. CPI was
OBJECTIVE
To consider whether growth restriction secondary to chronic placental insufficiency results in postnatal deficits in retinal structure and function.
METHODS
Chronic placental insufficiency was induced just before midgestation in guinea pigs through unilateral ligation of the uterine
OBJECTIVE
Very low birth weight (VLBW) and fetal growth restriction are associated with increased risks of long-term visual impairments, including alterations to contrast sensitivity, a parameter mediated in part by dopaminergic amacrine cells. This study was conducted to determine whether chronic
OBJECTIVE
Reduced birth weight is associated with an increased risk of visual impairments. This study was undertaken to determine whether prenatal exposure to a chronic compromise sufficient to cause fetal growth restriction (FGR) results in long-term alterations to the retina and optic
Chronic placental insufficiency (CPI) has the potential to affect fetal brain development and to cause brain injury. Our aim was to determine the effects of exposure to CPI during late gestation on brain and retinal structure and brain neurotrophin expression 8 weeks after birth. Six fetal sheep
The content of amino acids in maternal serum and umbilical cord blood during physiological pregnancy and placental insufficiency (PI) was estimated using ion-exchange chromatography. It was found that that the content of arginine, serine, glutamine, alanine, cysteine, methionine, tryptophan,
Placental development requires adequate and organized interaction of vascular growth factors and their receptors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF). Both VEGF and PlGF, acting through the tyrosine kinase receptors VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2, have been
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of foetal growth restriction on the retina after birth. Foetal growth restriction (FGR) was induced via umbilico-placental embolization (UPE) in ewes from 120 days of pregnancy until term (term approximately 147 days); controls were not exposed to
Uteroplacental insufficiency-induced low birth weight (LBW) and postnatal high saturated fat/high sucrose-fructose diet (Western Diet, WD) consumption have been independently associated with the development of hepatic steatosis, while their additive effect on fatty acid, acylcarnitine and amino acid
OBJECTIVE
Very low birth weight and growth-restricted children have visual impairments including reduced contrast sensitivity, a parameter mediated in part by dopaminergic amacrine cells. The origin of these deficits is uncertain. In experimental fetal growth restriction, induced by placental
Structural alterations in the brains of some schizophrenic patients suggest an impairment of brain development, possibly as a result of intrauterine compromise. In this study we have tested the hypothesis that placental insufficiency during the second half of pregnancy in the guinea pig results in
OBJECTIVE
Chronic placental insufficiency (CPI) severe enough to cause growth restriction (GR) results in alterations to the retina, including a reduction in tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive (TH-IR)-dopaminergic amacrine cells. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a role in the
Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) cause nitration of protein-bound tyrosine that is used as biomarker for detection. We hypothesized that RNS are formed in fetal rabbit brain following acute placental insufficiency. Near-term pregnant rabbits were randomized to either repetitive uterine ischemia or no
Placental insufficiency, inducing hypoxia-ischaemia, is considered a major cause of neuronal injury and impaired post natal development. Placental insufficiency alters the metabolism of arachidonic acid and its oxidation products. Premature labour and low-birth-weight infants are associated with
The activity of amino acid metabolism enzymes and the content of free amino acids in the placenta during physiological pregnancy and placental insufficiency (PI) were studied using spectrophotometric methods and ion-exchange chromatography. It was found that in PI placental activity of the studied
