Glucocorticoids and fetal programming.
Glucocorticoids Glucocorticoid hormones (cortisol in humans and most mammals, corticosterone in rats, mice and most lower vertebrates) are produced by the adrenal glands, predominantly under the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Receptors for glucocorticoids are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and, when activated by their hormone ligands, regulate ...
متن کاملFetal epigenetic programming of adipokines
Epigenetics generates a considerable interest in the field of research on complex traits, including obesity and diabetes. Recently, we reported a number of epipolymorphisms in the placental leptin and adiponectin genes associated with maternal hyperglycemia during pregnancy. Our results suggest that DNA methylation could partly explain the link between early exposure to a detrimental fetal envi...
متن کاملStudies in fetal metabolism.
The origin of the constituents of the mammalian fetus has been the subject of controversy, the literature of which has been exhaust,ively reviewed by Needham (1, 2) and Huggett (3). Two processes come into consideration: transplacental absorption from the maternal circulation and synthesis in t,he tissues of the fetus proper. In regard to the transplacental passage of fat,ty acids, the most imp...
متن کاملFetal Bile Salt Metabolism
Comparison with the results of similar experiments in adult dogs showed that the fetal liver was almost as efficient as the adult liver in the uptake, conjugation, and excretion of tracer amounts of cholate-"C. The maximal rate of excretion of radiolabel attained by the fetus was somewhat slower than in the adult (82.8 ±1.4% and 96.1 ±4.0% [mean +SE] of the infusion rate, respectively), and the...
متن کاملFetal lipid metabolism.
The fetus grows at a rate unparalleled by that during any other stage of life. To maintain its rapid growth rate, the fetus requires a significant amount of cholesterol and fatty acids. For structural purposes alone, the fetus requires 1.5 mg of cholesterol per gram of tissue, not including the brain. Cholesterol is also required as a precursor for various steroidogenic hormones that are critic...
