Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal growth restriction and stress exposure in rats differentially alters expression of components of the placental glucocorticoid barrier and nutrient transporters.

TL;DR: The importance of informing pregnant women on effective ways to cope with stress during pregnancy to prevent adverse long-term disease outcomes in their children is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

PTH/PTHrP receptor and mid-molecule PTHrP regulation of intrauterine PTHrP: PTH/PTHrP receptor antagonism increases SHR fetal weight.

TL;DR: It is highlighted that an increase in endogenous uterine, placental and fetal plasma PTHrP following PTH/PTHRP receptor antagonism was associated with increased SHR fetal growth presumably by improving placental growth and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrenal, metabolic and cardio‐renal dysfunction develops after pregnancy in rats born small or stressed by physiological measurements during pregnancy

TL;DR: Investigating the effects of stress during pregnancy on the long‐term adrenal, metabolic and cardio‐renal health of female rats that were born small suggests that being born small or being stressed during pregnancy does not exacerbate the long-term adverse health outcomes after pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fetal versus maternal determinants of the reduced fetal and placental growth in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

TL;DR: The SHR fetus exhibited reduced growth rate and placental size irrespective of maternal surrogate strain, suggesting that these measures are likely to be determined by the fetus or the placenta and, presumably, are independent of maternal blood pressure or altered electrolyte and hormonal milieu.
