Meanings of placental function in English

These results might reflect a change in choline consumption or metabolism or a disturbed placental function.

This may occur due to an obstetric catastrophe or through inadequate placental function leading to chronic intrapartum asphyxia.

The markedly elevated hCG and elevated MSAFP levels are consistent with abnormal placental function in trisomy 16 mosaicism.

The data suggest that human and mouse placenta share FGF18 and its high expression suggests preimplantation and early placental function.

Maternal uterine artery blood flow is critical to maintaining the intrauterine environment, permitting normal placental function, and supporting fetal growth.

These effects on placental function might explain the association of FT4 with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction.

Conclusions: The patterns of association between placental abnormalities, fetal growth, and stillbirth provide insights into the mechanism of impaired placental function and stillbirth.

Given the dependence of the fetus on adequate placental function, one might predict that specific placental lesions would be associated with distinct pregnancy outcomes.

The amino acids glutamine and glutamate are essential for normal placental function and fetal development; whether transport of these is altered in FGR is unknown.

Objectives: We investigated if an indicator of poor placental function, low gestational age-specific Z-score for placental weight at birth, was associated with earlier pubertal timing.

Placental function is of utmost importance to ensure proper fetal development in utero.

Placental function was assessed by Doppler ultrasound via measurement of arterial vascular resistance, i.e.
