Uteroplacental vascular insufficiency in humans is a common cause of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and is associated with an increased incidence of perinatal asphyxia and neurodevelopmental disorders compared to normal weight newborns. Experimental models that provide an opportunity to
In intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), a subset of pregnancies undergoes placental vascular dysregulation resulting in restricted blood flow and fetal hypoxemia. Altered transcription of hypoxic regulated plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) has been associated with pregnancy complications
Significant adverse correlation of the fetus mass and the degree of its hydration was noted at term in rats with placental insufficiency induced by ligation of about 40% of preplacental vessels on the 16th day of gestation. Disorders revealed in transplacental water-salt metabolism are apparently of
Infants suffering uteroplacental insufficiency and hypoxic ischemic injury often demonstrate cerebral apoptosis. Our objective was to determine the global effects of uteroplacental insufficiency upon cerebral gene expression of the apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax and their role in
It is well-established that severe, acute episodes of hypoxemia can damage the brain before birth, but the effects of more sustained hypoxemia are less well understood. We have used fetal fetal sheep in a series of studies aimed at determining the effects of prolonged hypoxemia, induced by placental
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) can be a consequence of decreased uterine blood flow (uteroplacental insufficiency) and maternal and fetal hypoxia. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) are key elements in fetal growth. IGF-I is a major growth promoter in
BACKGROUND
Placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction may lead to fetal hypoxia and acidemia, which result in fetal cardiac injury.
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to compare the levels of fetal cardiac troponin T (cTnT) at birth and fetal Doppler parameters according to fetal gender
OBJECTIVE
Allopregnanolone suppresses central nervous system activity and has neuroprotective actions in hypoxia-induced brain injury. In pregnant sheep allopregnanolone concentrations are high during fetal life and decline rapidly after birth. We investigated brain allopregnanolone concentrations
The fetoplacental system was studied in 80 patients with congenital heart disease by placental scintigraphy, cardiotocography, and ultrasonic examination. Disordered uteroplacental blood flow was detected in 52 of the 64 patients, small-for-date fetuses in 36 of the 80, and chronic fetal hypoxia in
The concept of "placental insufficiency" appears to offer a plausible explanation for foetal emergency situations; in reality, however, it leads to unproven and possibly wrong ideas on the genesis of these phenomena. It is applied in a semantically inconsistent manner, and that is one of the reasons
Epithelial membrane protein-2 (EMP2) is a tetraspan protein predicted to regulate placental development. Highly expressed in secretory endometrium and trophectoderm cells, previous studies suggest that it may regulate implantation by orchestrating the surface expression of integrins and other
Severe uteroplacental insufficiency causes cerebral apoptosis in the fetus. Moderate uteroplacental insufficiency causes intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and increases the risk of postnatal neurological morbidity. In the rat, uteroplacental insufficiency and IUGR affect cerebral gene
Leptin availability in perinatal life critically affects metabolic programming. We tested the hypothesis that uteroplacental insufficiency and intrauterine stress affect perinatal leptin availability in rat offspring. Pregnant rats underwent bilateral uterine vessel ligation (LIG; n = 14), sham
