PURPOSE: To investigate relationship between placental thickness during the second and third trimesters and placental and birth weights. METHODS: From January 2011 to June 2012, a total of 250 singleton pregnant women pr...

Concentration of interferon-gamma and interleukin-10 in maternal serum and in maternal and fetal porcine placental extracts from different gestation periods was determined. Crossbred pigs’ placental samples of 17, 30, ...

Water homeostasis during fetal development is of crucial physiologic importance. The successful formation and development of the placenta is critical to maintain normal fetal growth and homeostasis. The expression of sev...

HOPX (homeodomain-only protein), a member of the homeodomain family, is involved in various developmental processes and immune regulation. This study highlights HOPX expression in human placenta and its potential role in...

Introduction: The development of the human haemochorial placenta requires complex regulatory mechanisms to protect invasive trophoblast cells from cytotoxic responses elicited by maternal immune cells. Leptin, the adipoc...

Abstract Background Placental malaria remains a significant contributor to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in malaria endemic settings globally. This study investigated the prevalence of placental malaria and asso...

Fruit maturity stage at harvest influences the response to postharvest storage conditions and bioactive compounds content. In this work fruit from two purple eggplant cultivars (Monarca and Perla Negra) were harvested at...

OBJETIVO: avaliar a toxicidade do tacrolimus sobre o desenvolvimento embrionário em ratas tratadas durante o período de trânsito tubário. MÉTODOS: sessenta ratas Wistar foram distribuídas em quatro grupos (15 anima...

Grávidas podem depender do uso de medicações para minimizar os agravos da doença preexistente. A gravidez, por si só, pode causar situações que comprometem o bem-estar materno, como náuseas e vômitos, as quais n...

SUN controls elongated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) shape early in fruit development through changes in cell number along the different axes of growth. The gene encodes a member of the IQ domain family characterized by ...

The enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is pivotal in reproductive processes, particularly in placental and vascular development. This study investigated the role of HO-1 and its byproduct, carbon monoxide (CO), in trophoblas...

Abstract Background Preeclampsia (PE), a life-threatening hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, remains poorly characterized at the post-transcriptional regulation level. While alternative splicing (AS) perturbations drive...

Chemokine network is central to the innate and adaptive immunity and entails a variety of proteins and membrane receptors that control physiological processes such as wound healing, angiogenesis, embryo growth and develo...

Preeclampsia (PE) complicates 2 % to 8 % of pregnancies and remains the leading cause of perinatal maternal and neonatal mortality worldwide. Early identification of high-risk pregnancies allows for the reduction of comp...

BackgroundPyrethroid pesticides (PYRs) can cross the placental barrier to cause intrauterine fetal exposure, which may lead to developmental immunotoxicity (DIT). However, the specific effect of maternal PYR exposure dur...

Galectin-1 (gal-1), a member of a family of conserved β-galactoside-binding proteins, has been shown to exert a key role during gestation. Though gal-1 is expressed at higher levels in the placenta from HELLP patients, ...

Abstract Fetal mortality significantly impacts reproductive efficiency in sheep, with approximately 30% of fetuses failing to survive until lambing. In multifetal gestation, partial litter loss (PLL) occurs in 28% to 37%...

IntroductionCertain events that occur in early life, such as changes in nutrition, can induce structural and functional modifications in brain development, leading to behavioral programing in the offspring. These effects...

In different tissues hyperosmolarity induces cell differentiation. Nevertheless an exacerbated hyperosmolar stress alters the normal cellular development. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV-1) is a non-se...

Abstract Fetal growth restriction (FGR) occurswhen the fetus does not reach its intrauterine potential for growth and development as a result of compromise in placental function. It is a condition that affects 5 to 10% o...

Abstract Background During infection, alterations of the endothelium’s barrier function are multifaceted and virus-specific. Rubella virus (RuV) infection during pregnancy damages the endothelium in the placental and f...

Micronutrient undernutrition during critical periods of growth has become an important health issue in developing and developed countries, particularly among pregnant women and children having an imbalanced diet. Zinc is...

El diazepam se absorbe rápida y completamente después de la administración oral y atraviesa la barrera placentaria; su tasa de penetración en el tejido placentario es de 31,5% a las 4 horas, su vida media es prolonga...

Teniendo en cuenta la gravedad del daño que pueden ocasionar los antimicrobianos en el embarazo y la posible repercusión sobre el feto y el neonato se exponen las consideraciones maternas, placentarias y fetales a tene...
