Journal of Diabetes Research, 2020 Objective. Few studies have examined whether maternal 25(OH)D deficiency and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) jointly affect fetal growth. We aimed to examine the separate and combined effects of maternal 25(OH)D deficiency and GDM on trajectories of ...

Associations of Longitudinal Fetal Growth Patterns With Cardiometabolic Factors at Birth
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 BackgroundBirth weight is associated with cardiometabolic factors at birth. However, it is unclear when these associations occur in fetal life. We aimed to investigate the associations between fetal growth in different gestational periods and cord blood ...

Adrenarche and Fetal Growth [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1997 Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is prenatally secreted by the fetal adrenal, is an indicator of adrenarche from late childhood onward and is a marker of the individual hormonal milieu in the adult. The regulation of DHEAS secretion is still poorly understood.

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Fetal Growth Vary during Sensitive Periods in Pregnancy
Scientific Reports, 2018 Aberrant fetal growth is associated with morbidities and mortality during childhood and adult life. Although genetic and environmental factors are known to influence in utero growth, their relative contributions over pregnancy is unknown.

A retrospective segmentation analysis of placental volume by magnetic resonance imaging from first trimester to term gestation [PDF]
, 2018 Background Abnormalities of the placenta affect 5–7% of pregnancies. Because disturbances in fetal growth are often preceded by dysfunction of the placenta or attenuation of its normal expansion, placental health warrants careful surveillance. There are

Maternal Low Volume Circulation Relates to Normotensive and Preeclamptic Fetal Growth Restriction
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 This narrative review summarizes current evidence on the association between maternal low volume circulation and poor fetal growth. Though much work has been devoted to the study of cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance, a low intravascular ...

Fibroblast Growth Factor 19 in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Fetal Growth
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) has been implicated in glucose homeostasis. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) enhances fetal insulin secretion and fetal growth. Girls weigh less and are more insulin resistant than boys at birth. We sought to assess

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) concentrations during the late first trimester are associated with fetal growth in a fetal sex-specific manner [PDF]
, 2017 Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a pregnancy-specific hormone that regulates placental development. hCG concentrations vary widely throughout gestation and differ based on fetal sex.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only
