Serum folate and fetal growth retardation: a matter of compliance?

Serum folate levels were measured at 30 weeks' gestational age in 289 pregnant women, each of whom had been provided with folate supplementation at enrollment in prenatal care. There was a significant association between low serum folate levels and fetal growth retardation. High folate levels were most likely explained by recent folic acid intake. Therefore, we were concerned that the decreased...

Epigenetics of hypoxic pulmonary arterial hypertension following intrauterine growth retardation rat: epigenetics in PAH following IUGR

BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence reveals that intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) can cause varying degrees of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) later in life. Moreover, epigenetics plays an important role in the fetal origin of adult disease. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of epigenetics in the development of PAH following IUGR. METHODS The IUGR rats were establish...

Children born with intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) or small for gestational age (SGA): long term growth and metabolic consequences.

Intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) refers to insufficient fetal growth diagnosed either by two direct intrauterine growth assessment (ultra-sonography) or when the fetus or newborn length (height) is less than two standard deviations (or third percentile) below the mean for gestational age (NIKLASSON et. al. 1991; DE ZEGLER 1997). When the fetus or newborn body size (wight or length) is in...
