Journal ArticleDOI
Brain Allopregnanolone in the Fetal and Postnatal Rat in Response to Uteroplacental Insufficiency
TL;DR: Growth restriction is a potent stimulus for neurosteroid synthesis in the fetal brain in late pregnancy and suggests a delay in the capacity of the adrenal gland or brain to synthesize pregnane steroids or their precursors and may render the postnatal brain vulnerable to hypoxia-induced injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat Fetus, Not the Mother, is Responsible for the Reduced Amniotic Fluid PTHrP Concentrations and Growth Restriction
Mary E. Wlodek,Kathy Koutsis,Kerryn T. Westcott,Patricia W. M. Ho,R. Di Nicolantonio,Jane M. Moseley +5 more
TL;DR: The SHR fetus is growth restricted and has suppressed amniotic fluid P THrP, which are largely determined by the fetus or gestational tissues and are independent of maternal hypertension or maternal PTHrP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Milk Sampling Protocols Affect Estimation of Infant Lipid Intake.
Alexandra D George,Kevin Murray,Beverly S. Muhlhausler,Beverly S. Muhlhausler,Mary E. Wlodek,Donna T. Geddes +5 more
TL;DR: A sampling protocol with 6 pre- and post-feed samples provides the most accurate estimate of lipid intake if it is not possible to perform 24-hour test weights, and the potential inaccuracies of sampling protocols should be taken into consideration in the interpretation and translation of infant lipid intake results.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of twenty-four hours of reduced uterine blood flow on fetal fluid balance in sheep.
TL;DR: It is concluded that 24 hours of reduced uterine blood flow causes major changes in fetal renal function and fetal swallowing that, in spite of an expected reduction in lung liquid production, would increase the flow of fluid and electrolytes from the fetus into the amniotic sac.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is breastfeeding associated with later child eating behaviours
Wei Wei Pang,Keri McCrickerd,Phaik Ling Quah,Anna Fogel,Izzuddin M. Aris,Wen Lun Yuan,Doris Fok,Mei Chien Chua,Sok Bee Lim,Lynette Pei-Chi Shek,Shiao-Yng Chan,Kok Hian Tan,Fabian Yap,Keith M. Godfrey,Michael J. Meaney,Mary E. Wlodek,Johan G. Eriksson,Michael S. Kramer,Ciarán G. Forde,Mary Ff Chong,Yap Seng Chong +20 more
TL;DR: Results do not strongly support the view that increased breastfeeding exposure alone has lasting and consistent associations with eating behaviours in early childhood.
