... women and children will rise as well. Controversy exists whether COVID-19 can be transmitted in utero and lead to disease in the newborn. As this chance cannot be ruled out, strict instructions for the management of mothers and newborn infants are mandatory. This perspective aims to be a practical...

... between cytokine plasma levels and phagocyte burst in mothers and neonates during the peripartal period. Plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-1 IL-6, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α interferon (IFN)-γ and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and whole blood superoxide anion ( ● O 2...

...Sylvie Chalon; Jean-Michel Garel Total and ionized plasma calcium concentrations are higher in the fetus than in the mother at the end of gestation. Using thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX), nephrectomized (NX), or decapitated fetuses from normal or TPTX pregnant rats, we have investigated...

... on fetal plasma calcium. With TPTX mothers saturation curves of the fetal plasma calcium were similar whether fetuses were decapitated (deprived of brain, hypophysis, and thyroparathyroid complex) or intact. Increments in fetal plasma calcium were 4-fold higher in TPTX mothers (∼2.5mg/dl), and 2-fold...

...A. Aynsley-Green; G. Soltesz; P.A. Jenkins; I.Z. Mackenzie Blood levels of glucose, lactate, pyruvate and total ketone bodies were measured in 16 conscious mothers and their minimally stressed fetuses at 18–21 weeks gestation. Blood samples were taken from the maternal antecubital vein and from...

...Alia Cohen; Alain Chatelain; Jean-Paul Dupouy In order to compare the time-course and the amplitude of the hypophyseal-adrenal response to stress in both the mother and the fetus, female rats on day 20 of pregnancy were subjected to continuous ether inhalation and killed at different time intervals...

... and unesterified fatty acids within the fetal plasma were considerably lower than in the maternal plasma thereby providing an adverse concentration gradient for the passage of fatty acids between fetus and mother. The differential permeability of the placenta to the passage of the 3 H-palmitic acid and 14 C...
