Maternal Undernutrition Influences Placental-Fetal Development1

Belkacemi, Louiza, Nelson, D. Michael, Desai, Mina, Ross, Michael G.·2010·Biology of Reproduction

Abstract

Maternal nutrition during pregnancy has a pivotal role in the regulation of placental-fetal development and thereby affects the lifelong health and productivity of offspring. Suboptimal maternal nutrition yields low birth weight, with substantial effect on the short-term morbidity of the newborn. The placenta is the organ through which gases, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged between the maternal-fetal circulations. The size, morphology, and nutrient transfer capacity of the placenta determine the prenatal growth trajectory of the fetus to influence birth weight. Transplacental exchange depends on uterine, placental, and umbilical blood flow. Most important, maternal nutrition influences factors associated not only with placental homeostasis but also with optimal fetal development. This review associates fetal growth with maternal nutrition during pregnancy, placental growth and vascular development, and placental nutrient transport.

  • Maternal nutrition is a major determinant of placental development and alters the morphological, transport and endocrine characteristics of the placenta with consequences for fetal nutrient supply in a wide range of species including laboratory and farm species as well as human and non-human primates.

    “In addition, maternal nutrition is a major determinant of placental development and alters the morphological, transport and endocrine characteristics of the placenta with consequences for the fetal nutrient supply in a wide range of species including laboratory and farm species as well as human and non-human primates (47, 144, 204, 522, 550).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
