1. 1. Fallots tetrad hos hund och människa : embryologi, genetik och diagnostik

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

   Author : Emma Palmér; [2016]
   Keywords : Fallots tetrad; hund; embryonalutveckling; medfödda hjärtfel; tetralogy of Fallot; canine; embryonic development; congenital heart disease;

   Abstract : Hos människa är anomalier i hjärtat bland de vanligaste medfödda missbildningarna. Även hos hund är medfödda missbildningar i hjärtat relativt vanliga men prevalensen skiljer sig både mellan renrasiga hundar och korsningar samt mellan olika raser. Fallots tetrad (TOF) är en av missbildningarna som kan ses i hjärtat. READ MORE

3. 2. Does prenatal hypoxia lead to permanent cardiovascular change in the offspring?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

   Author : Elisabeth Brolin; [2015]
   Keywords : Developmental programming; hypoxia; dofetilide; telemetry;

   Abstract : Chronic prenatal hypoxia is associated with intrauterine growth retardation and there is now some evidence that it also induces programmed hypertension in offspring. However these studies are generally confounded as hypoxia is either induced by maternal hypoxia or placental insufficiency. READ MORE

4. 3. Is S100A1 involved in the programming effects of fetal hypoxia on cardiac function in chickens?

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Panagiotis Karalekas; [2014]
   Keywords : S100A1; gene expression; hypoxia; heart failure; gallus gallus;

   Abstract : Prolonged prenatal hypoxia has shown to cause fetal growth restriction inchickens due to restricted oxygen to the somatic tissue. The body goes through a critical periodof development. Insults during this critical period may have lifelong effects on the individual. READ MORE

5. 4. Effects of the NO donors Sodium Nitroprusside andS-nitrosoglutathione on oxygen consumption and embryonic organ growth in the domestic broiler chicken,Gallus gallus domesticus.

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Andreas Ekström; [2010]
   Keywords : Hypotension; Nitric Oxide; NO donor; Oxygen consumption; Prenatal growth; S-Nitrosoglutathione; Sodium Nitroprusside; Vasodilation;

   Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important chemical factor that controls vascular tone in the cardiovascular system. NO is a vasodilatory molecule that plays a role in blood pressure and blood flow regulation as well as vessel formation and tissue cell proliferation. READ MORE

6. 5. The effects of prenatal hypoxia on the levels of the α-subunits of G proteins in the heart of the Broiler chicken (Gallus gallus)

   University essay from Zoologi

   Author : Nabil Rashdan; [2010]
   Keywords : Beta adrenergic receptors; fetal programming; Gα protein; Hypoxia.;

   Abstract : Environmental stress during embryonic development could lead to growth restriction of the embryo, and act as a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease in adult life. A common environmental stressor that causes growth restriction is prenatal hypoxia, which has been shown to adversely affect adult health in mammalian models. READ MORE
