Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) arises when maternal stressors coincide with peak
placental development, leading to placental insufficiency. When the expanding nutrient …

Embryo mortality is responsible for greater losses in litter size in pigs. It is well known that
pregnancy establishment is a complex process, and important changes occur continuously …

Blood vessels play a crucial role in the development of skeletal muscle, ensuring the supply
of nutrients and oxygen. Putrescine, an essential polyamine for eukaryotic cells, has an …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality
in humans and domestic animals. Developmental adaptations of skeletal muscle in IUGR …

Pigs with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) have suboptimum growth performance and
impaired synthesis of glycine (the most abundant amino acid in the body). Conventional …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) compromises fetal development, leading to low birth
weight, and predisposes to gastrointestinal disorders. Pigs that suffered IUGR present poor …

Few studies have focused on the role of dimethylglycine sodium (DMG-Na) salt in protecting
the redox status of skeletal muscle, although it is reported to be beneficial in animal …

This study aimed to characterize histological changes of the maternal-conceptus interface in
feto-placental units associated with fetal weight and sex throughout pregnancy. Pregnant …

microRNAs are a class of small RNAs that have been extensively studied, which are
involved in many biological processes and disease occurrence. The incidence of …

Muscle growth of low birth weight (LBW) piglets may be improved with adapted nutrition.
This study elucidated effects of glutamine (Gln) supplementation on the cellular muscle …
