Impaired alveolarization and intra‐uterine growth restriction in rats: a postnatal genome‐wide analysis
28 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) dramatically increases the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm babies, a disease characterized by arrested alveolarization and abnormal microvascular angiogenesis. We have previously described a rodent low protein diet (LPD) model of IUGR inducing impaired alveolarization, but failed to demonstrate any modification of the classical factors involved in lung...
