Fetal nutrition and adult disease [PDF]

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000
Recent research suggests that several of the major diseases of later life, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes, originate in impaired intrauterine growth and development. These diseases may be consequences of "programming," whereby a stimulus or insult at a critical, sensitive period of early life has permanent effects ...

The fetal origin of adult diseases

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2003
In the last decade, the development of Barker's hypothesis of fetal programming opened the field for extensive research into the fetal origin of adult diseases. The association between low birth weight, which reflects intrauterine nutritional status, and the development of adult diseases has been confirmed in many studies for type 2 diabetes ...

Beyond liver cancer, more application scenarios for alpha-fetoprotein in clinical practice

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a commonly used clinical biomarker. Before 1970, the two-way agar diffusion method was mainly used, and the specificity of AFP in the diagnosis of primary liver cancer was satisfactory. However, its positivity rate was not very
