Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of metabolic dysfunction and arterial
hypertension in later life. Because of their reduced birth weight twins have been used …

Uteroplacental insufficiency (UPI) leads to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which
predisposes infants toward renal insufficiency early in life and increases the risk of kidney …

Objective To describe the morphometric and ultra-structural features of the kidney in fetal (20-
day-old), newborn (7-day-old) and adult (180-day-old) rats. Materials and Methods Kidneys …

A reduced nephron endowment early in life adversely impacts on long‐term functional
reserve in the kidney. A recent study has shown that acute exposure to chorioamnionitis …

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of fetal growth restriction due to twinning on
the perinatal development of arterial pressure. Arterial pressure was recorded in fetal sheep …

The evaluation of a range of measures in the kidneys, such as developmental stage, rate
and success, injury, and disease processes, relies on obtaining information on the three …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) from uteroplacental dysfunction causes impaired
nephrogenesis and ultimately hypertension, but it is unknown whether IUGR caused by …

We have shown that fetuses whose mothers underwent subtotal nephrectomy (STNx) before
pregnancy had high urine flow rates and sodium excretions, but lower hematocrits, plasma …

Objective. Extreme prematurity exposes the neonate to a number of potential renal insults
that may result in a reduced number of glomeruli and/or renal size. This may predispose …

Background. Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with adult-onset diseases, including
hypertension and renal disease; altered renal development after intrauterine growth …
