Catecholamines Mediate Multiple Fetal Adaptations during Placental Insufficiency That Contribute to Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Lessons from Hyperthermic Sheep
Figure 1
Increased transplacental oxygen and glucose gradients appear to partially ameliorate rates of umbilical uptake in hyperthermia-induced PI-IUGR fetuses (black symbols) compared to uncompromised fetuses (white symbols). Data are from Thureen et al. [23] (diamonds), Limesand et al. [30] (squares) and [31] (circles), and De Vrijer et al. [32] (triangles).
