Disease relevance of Fetal Nutrition Disorders

It is speculated that birth weight does not necessarily reflect the degree of fetal malnutrition in diabetic pregnancy since fetal growth may be maintained by glucose and fat deposition [1].
It is suggested that fetal malnutrition in an essential amino acid, histidine, could impair fetal protein synthesis producing the fetal alcohol syndrome [2].

High impact information on Fetal Nutrition Disorders

In conclusion, low serum IGF-I and IGFBP3 levels at birth were related to fetal malnutrition and were not predictive parameters for later growth [3].
These effects in fetal body content are not commonly observed in fetal malnutrition studies and are suggestive of a direct teratogenic effect of ethanol [4].
Kinetic properties of pyruvate kinase in human maternal leukocytes in fetal malnutrition [5].
Head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio, ponderal index and fetal malnutrition. Should head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio be abandoned [6]?
Chronic fetal malnutrition and vitamin A in cord serum [7].
