Effects of prenatal maternal stress on serotonin and fetal development
Placenta, 2016Fetuses are exposed to many environmental perturbations that can influence their development. These factors can be easily identifiable such as drugs, chronic diseases or prenatal maternal stress. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the serotonin synthetized by the placenta was crucial for fetal brain development.

Childhood Anxiety: Prenatal Maternal Stress and Parenting in the QF2011 Cohort
Child Psychiatry & Human Development, 2020In this study we examine whether specific 'anxiety-maintaining' parenting behaviors (i.e., overinvolvement and/or negativity) exacerbate the effects of disaster-related prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) on school-age anxiety symptoms. Women (N = 230), pregnant at the time of the 2011 Queensland Floods, reported on their experience of flood-related PNMS ...

Effects of maternal prenatal stress on offspring development: a commentary
Archives of Women's Mental Health, 2008Pregnancy is associated with major physiological changes and adaptation to these changes is crucial for normal fetal development. Heightened emotional stress during pregnancy may interfere with the necessary adaptation and lead to dysregulation of the two major stress response systems: the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis and the Autonomic ...

Effects of Maternal Prenatal Stress on Infant Outcomes
Advances in Nursing Science, 2005There is growing evidence that maternal prenatal stress may be hazardous to infant health. Changes in maternal hormonal and immune function as a result of stress may adversely affect the immune function and neurodevelopment of the fetus. Prenatal stress in the mother may produce lasting effects on the (1) infant's health status, (2) development and ...

Maternal Stress and Pregnancy Outcomes in a Prenatal Clinic Population
The Journal of Nutrition, 1994A two-fold decrease in the incidence of infant low birth weight, from 20.6% to 8.3%, occurred in Africa American women enrolled from 1985 to 1988 in this interdisciplinary research project conducted in an urban prenatal clinic. Nutritional, biochemical, medical, psychosocial, lifestyle, and environmental data were collected by trained Africa American ...

Effects of prenatal cold stress on maternal serum metabolomics in rats
Life Sciences, 2020Our previous studies have shown that prenatal cold stress leads to placental inflammatory response and induces anxiety-like behavior reduced in offspring rats. However, the role and mechanisms by which prenatal cold stress affects offspring remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the metabolic profiles from the maternal serum and helpful

Maternal Nutrition, Oxidative Stress and Prenatal Devlopmental Outcomes
2012Aerobic organisms have adapted themselves to a coexistence with reactive oxygen species (ROS) by developing various and interdependent antioxidant systems that includes enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Dietary antioxidants also play important roles in protecting the developing organisms from ROS damage, and both dietary and enzymatic ...

The Role of Prenatal Maternal Stress in Child Development
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2004The notion that a woman's psychological state during pregnancy affects the fetus is a persistent cultural belief in many parts of the world. Recent results indicate that prenatal maternal distress in rodents and nonhuman primates negatively influences long-term learning, motor development, and behavior in their offspring.

Using Natural Disasters to Study Prenatal Maternal Stress in Humans
2014Animal studies of prenatal maternal stress permit random assignment of pregnant animals to stress and no-stress groups, and allow total control of the type, severity, and timing of the stressor in utero. Human studies have obvious constraints that make the use of experimental methods nearly impossible.

Epigenetics, maternal prenatal psychosocial stress, and infant mental health
Archives of Psychiatric Nursing, 2018This paper provides a summary of literature on epigenetic effects and infant health outcomes of maternal psychosocial stress during pregnancy. A search of literature yielded a large body of publications between 2008 and 2018. Relevant articles were selected, and additional sources were located from ancestry searches of reference lists.
