Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for maternal age, nulliparity and BMI demonstrates an odds ratio of 0.255, p=0.032, 95% CI 0.073-0.891 for the fetal, T-dominant genotype. Discussion ...

In pregnancy, leptin produced from the placenta is crucial for ensuring proper fetal development and angiogenesis; however, pathological increases in leptin in maternal circulation are strongly ...

Inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-17A enter fetal circulation during this period and alter gene expression. These proteins suppress the release of IGF-1 and interfere with brain insulation.

The cytokines circulating in the maternal blood reach the syncytiotrophoblasts, specialized epithelial cells that form the outermost layer of the placenta, a barrier that separates maternal and fetal ...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A new Kansas law and a Florida bill outline policies backed by abortion opponents that critics see as moves toward giving embryos and fetuses the same rights as the ...
