Incretin‐Based Medications in Women and Reproduction: A Systematic Scoping Review and Consensus Guidelines for Clinical Practice

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pregnancy concurrent with incretin‐based medications is contraindicated due to unknown risk of teratogenicity, as is breastfeeding. The aim of this systematic scoping review was to investigate potential risks and benefits of incretin‐based medications in relation to preconception, pregnancy, and postnatal health, and to propose ...

Choice of Growth Standard and Interpretation of Large for Gestational Age Outcomes: Evidence From the CDC4G Trial

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The lack of a standardised definition of large for gestational age (LGA) complicates clinical assessments and the interpretation of research. Objective The objective of this study is to assess how different definitions of LGA affect the interpretation of outcomes in a stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial (SW‐CRT ...

Leptin–cholesterol crosstalk in pregnancy: Mechanistic implications for placental function and cardiometabolic programming

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pregnancy requires the coordinated maternal reorganization of lipid and endocrine pathways to sustain fetal growth and anticipate neonatal nutrition. Leptin, produced by adipose tissue and the placenta, acts as an integrative signal linking maternal energy status with trophoblast function and vascular adaptation, while cholesterol provides ...

Maternal obesity during lactation as a hypertensive cardiovascular risk factor in the offspring

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal obesity is a major public health concern, with growing evidence supporting its role in the developmental programming of cardiometabolic disease. Although prenatal mechanisms have been investigated extensively, the contribution of lactation as a postnatal window of cardiovascular (CV) programming remains insufficiently understood ...

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Placental mitochondrial metabolic adaptation maintains cellular energy balance in pregnancy complicated by gestational hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Placental mitochondrial adaptation to gestational hypoxia. Hypoxic pregnancy in sheep increases placental insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF2) signalling (1), which is associated with a shift in capacity away from β‐oxidation (2) and complex I‐mediated respiration (3), while maintaining total oxidative phosphorylation capacity (4).

High‐elevation adaptation and gestational hypoxia jointly shape vascular development in a rodent placenta

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how environmental hypoxia and genetic adaptation to high altitudes jointly impact the development of the placental exchange surface in ways that might protect fetal growth potential. We used wild‐derived, lab‐born North American deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from low‐elevation and high‐elevation environments (

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

A review of xenobiotic membrane transporter expression within the human placenta: Lessons gained from primary tissue and in vitro methodologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A summary of the current knowledge around membrane transporter expression in the most widely used in vitro models of human trophoblasts, including primary placental tissue, cancer cell lines and trophoblast stem cells, as well as the techniques to attempt to mimic the human placenta in vivo.

Transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and fetal blood–brain barriers and its safety for use in pregnancy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is commonly taken during pregnancy for pain and fever. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of paracetamol's effects during pregnancy, several elements need to be examined including the transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and into the developing brain, the short‐ and long‐term effects of ...
