Fetal ingestion and metabolism of amniotic fluid protein

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1975
Fetal swallowing, digestion, and utilization of amniotic fluid protein were studied in near-term rhesus monkeys in which 35S-protein, synthesized biologically from 35S-methionine, was injected into the amniotic sac. The half-time of the injected protein in amniotic fluid was 1.1 days, a figure consistent with findings of others that fetal swallowing ...

Rates of protein synthesis and turnover in fetal life

American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1981
Uniformly labeled [14C]lysine was infused at constant rate into the inferior vena cava of eight ovine fetuses with gestational ages ranging from 110 to 145 days. The infusion lasted 9 to 13 h and produced a steady-state specific activity of free lysine in the fetal plasma.

Maternal—Fetal Protein Transport

1983
The reproductive success of a species is dependent on the ability of the mother to provide her offspring with a variety of substances essential for the development, nutrition and immunological protection of the fetus and neonate. In this chapter we focus on the process by which essential maternal proteins are specifically transported from the mother to

Protein Z levels and unexplained fetal losses

Fertility and Sterility, 2004
We evaluated protein Z plasma levels in a group of women with fetal losses (n = 124) and compared them with those in a group of women (n = 60) with uneventful pregnancies. We found that protein Z deficiency is not associated with otherwise unexplained fetal losses.

PLACENTAL PROTEIN 5 IN FETAL AND MATERNAL COMPARTMENTS

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1979
SummaryPlacental protein 5 is produced by the syncytiotrophoblast and secreted into the maternal peripheral circulation reaching levels of approximately 30 μg per litre in normal pregnancy at term. In the present study the distribution of PP5 was examined in maternal and fetal compartments in 13 patients at delivery.

A Protein Present in Fetal but Not in Maternal Rat Serum

Science, 1962
Immunoelectrophoretic comparison of maternal and fetal rat serum proteins with antiserum to adult rat serum proteins showed a unique protein in the fetal serum. The fetal protein exhibited in agar gel electrophoresis a variable mobility that was dependent on concentration. The fetal protein reacted strongly with a nonspecific antiserum.

Amniotic fluid proteins: Maternal and fetal contributions

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1974
No fetal contribution to amniotic fluid orosomucoid or Gc-globulin is detectable by sensitive methods of phenotyping. These proteins have relatively low molecular weights and are readily cleared into urine and other body fluids. It would appear from this and from the close similarity of amniotic fluid to a passive filtrate of maternal serum that the ...

Antepartum findings in fetal protein C deficiency

Prenatal Diagnosis, 2000
A pregnancy with fetal homozygous protein C deficiency was complicated in the third trimester by fetal ventriculomegaly, intraorbital thrombosis and placental infarcts, which could be imaged by combined use of ultrasonography and MRI.

Studies on the Properties of a Human Fetal Serum Protein

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1967
SUMMARYA rabbit antiserum was produced which reacted against an α1‐globulin present in human fetal serum. The α1‐globulin was found in the serum of all fetuses studied, from 8 to 26 weeks of age, as well as in 86 per cent of cord sera.The antiserum reacted against monkey (Macacus mulatto) newborn serum but not against fetal calf, rat and mouse sera.The

Identification of plasma proteins in the palate of fetal mice

Teratology, 1972
AbstractInvestigations were undertaken to correlate changes in proteins with development and morphogenetic movement of palate shelves in the fetal mouse. Soluble palate proteins were analyzed by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Three major groups of proteins were present: (1) three bands at Mx 0.35–0.48 designated αl–3, (2) five bands at Mx 0 ...
