Heavy drinking during pregnancy can result in fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), of which, fetal
and postnatal growth retardation and central nervous system deficits are cardinal features …

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a significant problem in human reproductive medicine.
Maternal alcohol administration alters maternal amino acid homeostasis and results in …

Not much is known about effects of gestational alcohol exposure on maternal and fetal
cardiovascular adaptations. This study determined whether maternal binge alcohol …

Background: The mechanisms by which maternal ethanol abuse during pregnancy causes
neurodevelopmental injury in the fetus are not well understood. The purpose of this study …

Prenatal alcohol exposure is known to cause fetal growth restriction and disturbances in
amino acid bioavailability. Alterations in these parameters can persist into adulthood and …

Glutamate is an important excitatory neurotransmitter. However, a sustained elevation of
glutamate in the extracellular space may be toxic to neurons. Because the blood‐brain …

Maternal alcohol abuse during pregnancy can lead to abnormalities in fetal development,
sometimes manifested as the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Although intrauterine growth …

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is characteristic of the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).
This IUGR is partly due to the toxic effect of ethanol upon placental function, including amino …

The cerebral cortex is a target site of ethanol teratogenesis. l‐Glutamate is a major excitatory
neurotransmitter that plays an important neurotrophic role in brain development. It has been …

The effect of ethanol on maternal and fetal blood gases and acid–base balance was
determined in six conscious instrumented near-term pregnant ewes for maternal intravenous …
