  • They found that maternal fat metabolism as early as the 5th month of pregnancy, and the growth of the fetal abdomen growth patterns of fetal abdominal growth associated with maternal lipid metabolites that track newborn growth, adiposity and development into childhood. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Very importantly, in both studies, the same critical time period close to the 5th month of pregnancy is the starting point for accelerated or decelerated fetal growth that is sustained into early childhood. (ox.ac.uk)

(ox.ac.uk)
  • Regulation of hepcidin expression by iron status has been proposed on the basis of evidence mainly from rodents and humans. (bvsalud.org)
  • Although intramuscular administration of iron increased iron-related parameters, plasma hepcidin concentrations were unaffected. (bvsalud.org)
  • The osteoblastic MC3T3 murine cells that are able to mineralize were exposed to iron and/or hepcidin. (bvsalud.org)
