Impaired placental hemodynamics and function in a non-human primate model of gestational protein restriction

Abstract excerpt

Maternal malnutrition increases fetal and neonatal morbidity, partly by affecting placental function and morphology, but its impact on placental hemodynamics are unknown. Our objective was to define the impact of maternal malnutrition on placental oxygen reserve and perfusion in vivo in a rhesus macaque model of protein restriction (PR) using advanced imaging. Animals were fed control (CON, 26% protein), 33% PR...
