Effects of maternal smoking on human placental vascularization: A systematic review

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2019
The abnormal development of placental vascularization leads to placental insufficiency, which further reduces the nutrient and trace exchange between maternal circulation and fetal circulation. These changes cause maternal and fetal complications.

Effect of Sublethal Prenatal Endotoxaemia on Murine Placental Transport Systems and Lipid Homeostasis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Infection alters the expression of transporters that mediate the placental exchange of xenobiotics, lipids and cytokines. We hypothesized that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) modifies the expression of placental transport systems and lipid homeostasis. LPS (150

Animal models of fetal growth restriction: Considerations for translational medicine.

, 2015
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is the failure of a fetus to reach its full genetic growth potential. It occurs in up to 8% of pregnancies, and after premature birth is the second leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity.

Computer model of fetal-maternal heat exchange in sheep

, 1988
We constructed and used a mathematical model of maternal-fetal heat exchange in the sheep to explore the effects of changes in certain parameters on steady-state fetal temperatures and to determine whether the fetus in the model has any potential to ...

Placental Amino Acids Transport in Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Journal of Pregnancy, 2012
The placenta represents a key organ for fetal growth as it acts as an interface between mother and fetus, regulating the fetal-maternal exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products.

The Protective Role of Maternal Immunization in Early Life

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
With birth, the newborn is transferred from a quasi-sterile environment to the outside world. At this time, the neonatal immune system is inexperienced and continuously subject to a process of development as it encounters different antigenic stimuli ...

Effects of nifedipine and sildenafil on placental hemodynamics and gas exchange during fetal hypoxemia in a chronic sheep model [PDF]

, 2019
Introduction We hypothesized that nifedipine and sildenafil would have no detrimental effects on placental hemodynamics and gas exchange under fetal hypoxemia.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Infection on Unvaccinated Pregnant Women: Non-Reassuring Fetal Heart Rate Tracing Because of Placentitis

Viruses, 2023
In 2020, a new coronavirus, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in China. SARS-CoV-2 infection has been shown to be highly morbid in pregnant women, being a risk factor for several obstetric conditions leading to ...

Vascular Growth in the Fetal Lung [PDF]

, 2011
The structure of the lung is truly remarkable. It is primarily composed of three branched tubular networks (the airway, pulmonary artery and vein, bronchial artery and vein) which supply blood and air to the site of gas exchange and which maintain ...
