Pregnancy in aged rats that were born small: cardiorenal and metabolic adaptations and second-generation fetal growth

TL;DR: Pregnancy in aged rats that were born small: cardiorenal and metabolic adaptations and second‐generation fetal growth and advanced maternal age was associated with poorer fetal outcomes that were not exacerbated by low maternal birth weight.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) mRNA splicing and parathyroid hormone PTHrP receptor mRNA expression in human placenta and fetal membranes

TL;DR: Up-regulation of PTHrP expression in amnion at term may involve each of the alternative 3' mRNA splicing pathways since transcripts for each isoform appeared to be more consistently expressed at term.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (pthrp) concentrations in human amniotic fluid during gestation and at the time of labour

TL;DR: The data are consistent with the suggestion that PTHrP plays a role in fetal membrane function during late gestation, and the physiological significance of elevated amniotic fluid concentrations of P THrP has yet to be established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parathyroid hormone(1-34) and parathyroid hormone-related protein(1-34) stimulate calcium release from human syncytiotrophoblast basal membranes via a common receptor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PTHrP (1-34) and PTH(1- 34) stimulate calcium transport across the basal, but not microvillous, syncytiotrophoblast membrane vesicles, mediated via the PTH/PTHRP receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal exercise in rats upregulates the placental insulin‐like growth factor system with diet‐ and sex‐specific responses: minimal effects in mothers born growth restricted

TL;DR: Growth restriction of mothers before birth and exercise differentially regulate the placental IGF system with diet‐ and sex‐specific responses, probably as a means to improve fetoplacental growth and development, and hence neonatal survival, and therefore prevent adult disease onset.
