Sex-Specific Effects of Nanoparticle-Encapsulated MitoQ (nMitoQ) Delivery to the Placenta in a Rat Model of Fetal Hypoxia [PDF]
Pregnancy complications associated with chronic fetal hypoxia have been linked to the development of adult cardiovascular disease in the offspring. Prenatal hypoxia has been shown to increase placental oxidative stress and impair placental function in a ...

Nucleated Red Blood Cells as a Marker of Acute and Chronic Fetal Hypoxia in a Rat Model [PDF]
Objective To examine the relationship between duration of fetal hypoxia, nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count, and fetal growth. Methods Pregnant rats were exposed to a severe hypoxia (9.5%–10% O2) for varying time intervals (2, 6, 12, 24, 48, and ...

Chronic fetal hypoxia and antenatal Vitamin C exposure differentially regulate molecular signalling in the lung of female lambs in early adulthood [PDF]
IntroductionChronic fetal hypoxia is commonly associated with fetal growth restriction and can predispose to respiratory disease at birth and in later life. Antenatal antioxidant treatment has been investigated to overcome the effects of oxidative stress

Does the Biological Response to Fetal Hypoxia Involve Angiogenesis, Placental Enlargement and Preeclampsia? [PDF]
From an evolutionary point of view, an overriding biological priority is to ensure offspring survival. Oxygen is essential for the growing fetus, and during pregnancy the fetus has an increasing demand for oxygen.

The Effects of In Utero Fetal Hypoxia and Creatine Treatment on Mitochondrial Function in the Late Gestation Fetal Sheep Brain. [PDF]
Near‐term acute hypoxia in utero can result in significant fetal brain injury, with some brain regions more vulnerable than others. As mitochondrial dysfunction is an underlying feature of the injury cascade following hypoxia, this study is aimed at ...

Fetal hypoxia results in sex- and cell type-specific alterations in neonatal transcription in rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells, microglia, neurons, and oligodendrocytes [PDF]
Background Fetal hypoxia causes vital, systemic, developmental malformations in the fetus, particularly in the brain, and increases the risk of diseases in later life. We previously demonstrated that fetal hypoxia exposure increases the susceptibility of

Impact of Chronic Fetal Hypoxia and Inflammation on Cardiac Pacemaker Cell Development. [PDF]
Chronic fetal hypoxia and infection are examples of adverse conditions during complicated pregnancy, which impact cardiac myogenesis and increase the lifetime risk of heart disease.

Fetal Hypoxia Impacts on Proliferation and Differentiation of Sca-1+ Cardiac Progenitor Cells and Maturation of Cardiomyocytes: A Role of MicroRNA-210. [PDF]
Hypoxia is one of the most frequent and severe stresses to an organism’s homeostatic mechanisms, and hypoxia during gestation has profound adverse effects on the heart development increasing the occurrence of congenital heart defects (CHDs).

Computer-Aided Diagnosis System of Fetal Hypoxia Incorporating Recurrence Plot With Convolutional Neural Network. [PDF]
Background: Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is widely applied as a routine diagnostic tool by clinicians using fetal heart rate (FHR) signals to prevent fetal hypoxia.
