Disease relevance of Fetal Resorption

 

Psychiatry related information on Fetal Resorption

 

High impact information on Fetal Resorption

  • Fetal resorptions reflecting in utero death were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction and found to be increased 2.6-fold and 3.6-fold respectively with heterozygous and homozygous p53-deficient embryos [7].
  • Given our preliminary findings of low IL-3 in mice with APLS and the efficacy of IL-3 in preventing fetal loss in a strain of mice prone to fetal resorption, our aim in the present study was to examine the effect of murine recombinant IL-3 (mrIL-3) on pregnant mice induced with experimental APLS [8].
  • Defects in embryonic hindbrain development and fetal resorption resulting from vitamin A deficiency in the rat are prevented by feeding pharmacological levels of all-trans-retinoic acid [9].
  • Here we show that litters from untreated pregnant mutant mice with a hereditary G6PD deficiency had increased prenatal (fetal resorptions) and postnatal death [10].
  • Blastocysts cultured in the presence of LY-294002 demonstrate a dramatic increase in fetal resorptions as compared with control embryos [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fetal Resorption

 

Biological context of Fetal Resorption

  • The latter could significantly be prevented by simultaneous administration of exogenous progesterone, indicating luteolysis as the major, if not sole, factor responsible for fetal resorption in the untreated horn [17].
  • Regardless of the duration of dietary copper deprivation, feeding the fructose diet deficient in copper during pregnancy resulted in either fetal resorption or mortality of all newborn pups during the first few hours postpartum [18].
  • Certain preparations of rabbit gamma-globulins (Cohn Fraction II) contain an activity which, if administered intravenously to pregnant mice, causes either complete fetal resorption in virtually 100% of cases when given during the second trimester equivalent or abortions when given later in pregnancy [19].
  • From a developmental standpoint, fetal growth and viability were reduced in correlation with treatment-related effects of diepoxybutane on implantation losses and fetal resorptions on gestation day 9 [20].
  • The effect of various doses of anordrin and RU 486, alone or combined, on serum progesterone (P) levels, fetal resorption, and recovery of ovulation was studied in mice [21].
 

Anatomical context of Fetal Resorption

 

Gene context of Fetal Resorption

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Fetal Resorption

  • RESULTS: Whereas the administration of 1 microgram of LPS to CFW female x CFW male pregnant mice on day 7 of gestation induced complete fetal resorption, prior immunization with 20 micrograms of LPS completely prevented LPS induced abortion as long as the anti-LPS antibody titers remained above a threshold value of about 1/500 [28].
