Biochemical Parameters of Female Wistar Rats and Their Offspring Exposed to Inorganic Mercury in Drinking Water during the Gestational and Lactational Periods
M. E. A. Galiciolli,Taíse F. Pedroso,Maria Fernanda de Mesquita,Vitor Antunes Oliveira,Maria Ester Pereira,Cláudia S. Oliveira +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the effects of inorganic mercury (Hg2+) exposure on biochemical parameters of dams and their offspring exposed to metal in drinking water were investigated. But the results were limited to females.

Physiologic changes during pregnancy
TL;DR: In this article , the most relevant physiologic changes that occur during human gestation are discussed, including the increase in glomerular filtration rate during pregnancy leading to increased clearance of heparins, thus requiring higher doses during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of hyponatraemia in pre-eclampsia with severe features.
TL;DR: In this paper, a case of hyponatraemia in a patient admitted for induction of labour for gestational hypertension developed into pre-eclampsia with severe features requiring magnesium sulfate therapy for seizure prophylaxis.

TL;DR: Peripheral vasodilation occurs early in pregnancy prior to full placentation in association with renal vasodilated and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, suggesting that ANP increases in response to changes in intravasular volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal hemodynamics and tubular function in normal human pregnancy
J. M. Davison,William Dunlop +1 more
TL;DR: This paper attempts to describe the changes that occur during human pregnancy in renal hemodynamics and in certain aspects of tubular function, particularly the handling of uric acid and glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial changes in renal haemodynamics during normal human pregnancy
TL;DR: Effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and GFR/ERPF was significantly reduced during early pregnancy but rose to a value equivalent to the non‐pregnant during the third trimester.
