Retinol-binding protein 4, fetal overgrowth and fetal growth factors

Pediatric Research, 2019
Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP-4) is an adipokine involved in regulating insulin sensitivity which would affect fetal growth. It is unclear whether RBP-4 is associated with fetal overgrowth, and unexplored which fetal growth factor(s) may mediate the association.In the Shanghai Birth Cohort, we studied 125 pairs of larger-for-gestational-age (LGA ...

The “Pregnancy Zone” Protein and Fetal Welfare

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1974
Abstract. The “pregnancy zone” protein (PZ) was demonstrated in the sera of 311 out of 350 pregnant women at term (88.9%). The lack of demonstrable PZ was studied in relation to parameters reflecting fetal maturity (birth weight, placental weight and gestational age).

Late gestation fetal hyperglucagonaemia impairs placental function and results in diminished fetal protein accretion and decreased fetal growth

The Journal of Physiology, 2021
Key points Fetal glucagon concentrations are elevated in the setting of placental insufficiency, hypoxia and elevated stress hormones. Chronically elevated glucagon concentrations in the adult result in profound decreases in amino acid concentrations and lean body mass.

Fetal Proteins in Ataxia-Telangiectasia

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) is a genetic disorder of unknown pathogenesis, with primary effects on the immune and nervous systems. The presence of a fetal-like thymus and elevated a-fetoprotein (aFP) levels in patients with AT suggests that suppressed mesodermal development may be a factor in the development of this disease.

Serum Protein Synthesis by the Fetal Rat

Science, 1963
Injection of C 14 -labeled amino acids intraperitoneally into rat fetuses in utero results in greater labeling of fetal serum proteins than when the amino acid is injected into the mother. Maternal partial hepatectomy leads to only minimal changes in serum protein synthesis.

Ret protein in the human fetal rectum

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
A major gene for Hirschsprung's disease (HD) recently has been mapped in chromosome 10q11.2 and identified to be the RET proto-oncogene. Mutations of the RET gene have occurred in HD patients, and abnormalities of expression and function of Ret protein (a receptor tyrosine kinase, which is the product of the RET gene) have been found in their ...

Fetal proteins occurring in testicular teratomas

International Journal of Cancer, 1974
AbstractAlpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were determined simultaneously in serial samples from patients with teratocarcinomas, testicular tumors of so‐called embryonic origin. These tumor‐associated fetal substances were seen together in four cases, AFP alone was seen in five, CEA in three and neither antigen in two.

Protein synthesis by human fetal lung

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981
Biochemical and morphologic studies have shown that proteins and carbohydrate-protein complexes, in addition to phospholipids, are present in the alveolar surface layer. For this reason the study of lung protein synthesis in parallel with phospholipid biosynthesis and its regulation is of interest.

Characterization of Fetal Urinary Proteins at Midgestation and Term

Neonatology, 1984
Proteins in first voided urine from premature and term neonates were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. At 22–28 weeks of gestation, urine contained many identifiable serum proteins and the presence of an array of minor polypeptides with masses below 40 kilodaltons (kd) made the patterns quite complex.

Protein Absorption by the Intestine of the Fetal Rat in Utero

Science, 1972
Horseradish peroxidase (molecular weight, about 40,000) injected into the amniotic sacs in pregnant rats has been identified ultrastructurally, 6 to 18 hours later, within the fetal intestine in the absorptive cells and the underlying vascular endothelium.
