Unlike other visceral organs, myocardial weight is maintained in relation to fetal body weight
in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) fetal sheep despite hypoinsulinemia and global …

Developmental changes in ovine myocardial glucose transporters and insulin signaling
following hyperthermia-induced intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR) were the focus of …

Intrauterine undernutrition is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular diseases in
adulthood. We previously showed that maternal nutrient restriction during early to mid …

Babies born with fetal growth restriction (FGR) are at higher risk of developing
cardiometabolic diseases across the life course. The reduction in substrate supply to the …

Key points This study investigates the impact of decreased fetal plasma glucose
concentrations on the developing heart in late gestation, by subjecting pregnant ewes to a …

Objective Intrauterine growth restriction that results in low birth weight (LBW) has been
linked to the onset of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. An altered transition from a fetal to …

Fetuses affected by intrauterine growth restriction have an increased risk of developing heart
disease and failure in adulthood. Compared with controls, late gestation intrauterine growth …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with persistent metabolic complications,
but information is limited for IUGR infants. We determined glucose-stimulated insulin …

In this study we determined body weight-specific fetal (umbilical) glucose uptake (UGU),
utilization (GUR), and production rates (GPR) and insulin action in intrauterine growth …

Undernourished late gestation fetuses display asymmetric growth restriction, suggestive of a
redistribution of nutritional resources. The modification of fetal organ blood supply in …
