1. Is S100A1 involved in the programming effects of fetal hypoxia on cardiac function in chickens?
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolanAbstract : 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

2. Impact of a maternal high-fat diet on mouse placental epigenetic programming
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : OBJECTIVE: To assess how nutrient intakes of mouse mothers during pregnancy influence placental and fetal growth, we fed pregnant mother with a high-fat diet (HFD) and collect fetus and placentas in the middle of fetal period and at term. MATERIAL and METHODS: We studied gene expression by RT-qPCR and DNA methylation by LUMA to understand the molecular mechanisms of placental epigenetic programming in the labyrinth layer of the placenta, where nutrient exchanges take place.

3. 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 ZoologiAbstract : 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
