Epigenetic Programming and Fetal Metabolic Programming
Fetal metabolic programming caused by the adverse intrauterine environment can induce metabolic syndrome in adult offspring. Adverse intrauterine environment introduces fetal long-term relatively irreversible changes in organs and metabolism, and thus ...

Oxidative Stress Mediates the Fetal Programming of Hypertension by Glucocorticoids. [PDF]
The field of cardiovascular fetal programming has emphasized the importance of the uterine environment on postnatal cardiovascular health. Studies have linked increased fetal glucocorticoid exposure, either from exogenous sources (such as dexamethasone ...

Fetal Programming and Fetal Psychology [PDF]
The introduction of the ‘fetal programming hypothesis’, first in epidemiology, subsequently in a broad range of disciplines concerned with developmental biology, has generated new interest in phenotypic plasticity, the mechanisms that govern it, and its ...

Maternal Overnutrition and Fetal Programming: Long-Term Metabolic, Cognitive, and Epigenetic Consequences. [PDF]
Maternal nutrition during pregnancy critically influences fetal programming, shaping the offspring’s lifelong health and disease susceptibility. Both undernutrition and overnutrition affect fetal metabolism, predisposing offspring to obesity and ...

Paternal effects on fetal programming. [PDF]
Paternal programming is the concept that the environmental signals from the sire's experiences leading up to mating can alter semen and ultimately affect the phenotype of resulting offspring. Potential mechanisms carrying the paternal effects to offspring can be associated with epigenetic signatures (DNA methylation, histone modification and non-coding

Cardiovascular Programming During and After Diabetic Pregnancy: Role of Placental Dysfunction and IUGR [PDF]
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition whereby a fetus is unable to achieve its genetically determined potential size. IUGR is a global health challenge due to high mortality and morbidity amongst affected neonates.

Fetal programming: could intrauterin life affect health status in adulthood? [PDF]
Intrauterine life is one of the most important periods of life. As the development of the fetus continues, the mechanisms that affect adult health also begin to mature.

Transcriptome analysis of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells revealed fetal programming due to chorioamnionitis. [PDF]
Although chorioamnionitis (CAM) has been demonstrated to be associated with numerous short- and long-term morbidities, the precise mechanisms remain unclear.
