Maternal effect on Parkinson's disease
Annals of Neurology, 2000First-degree relatives of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are at higher risk for PD development than first-degree relatives of control subjects, but clinical twin studies have failed to demonstrate a genetic basis in PD. It is hypothesized that maternal exposure to certain environmental factors could lead to pathological changes in the ovum that

A maternal effect can be considered a causal effect of the parent phenotype on the phenotype of its offspring. Maternal effects contribute fundamentally to organismal life cycles. Maternal effects also contribute to phenotypic variation, to fitness differences between individuals, and to heredity.

Evolutionary maternal effects occur whenever a mother's phenotypic traits directly affect her offspring's phenotype, independent of the offspring's genotype. Some of the phenotypic traits that result in maternal effects have a genetic basis, whereas others are environmentally determined. For example, the size of a litter produced by a mammalian mother -

Maternal and Transplacental Effects of Cocaine
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998ABSTRACT: Pregnancy is a dynamic process, and maternal as well as fetal risks from cocaine use in pregnancy may differ as pregnancy progresses. Three areas of biology offer opportunities for reevaluating cocaine's effects in pregnancy: (1) Maternal cardiovascular and neurologic responses to cocaine hydrochloride are enhanced when compared with ...

Maternal ethanol ingestion: effect on maternal and neonatal glucose balance
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1986Liver glycogen availability in the newborn is of major importance for the maintenance of postnatal blood glucose levels. This study examined the effect of maternal ethanol ingestion on maternal and neonatal glucose balance in the rat. Female rats were placed on the Lieber-DeCarli liquid ethanol diet, an isocaloric liquid pair-fed diet, or an ad libitum

Roles of maternal effects in maintaining genetic variation: Maternal storage effect.
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2017Understanding the maintenance of genetic variation remains a central challenge in evolutionary biology. Recent empirical studies suggest the importance of temporally varying selection, as allele frequencies have been found to fluctuate substantially in the wild.
