Fetal responses to long-term hypoxemia in sheep

Abstract

The effect of acute or short-term hypoxia on fetal cardiovascular hemodynamics has been well known; however, little is known about the effect of long-term hypoxemia. To determine the fetal hemodynamic responses to this stress we studied two groups of animals: 1) pregnant ewes (n = 20) at 110-115 days of gestation subjected to hypoxia for up to 28 days and 2) pregnant ewes (n = 4) that served as normoxic controls. We chronically catheterized the fetal brachiocephalic artery and vein. Five to 6 days after surgery, control measurements were made of mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, arterial PO2, O2 saturation, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood volume, and the concentrations of erythropoietin, cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. The next day the ewes were placed in a chamber with an inspired O2 fraction of 12-13%. Within a few minutes fetal arterial PO2 decreased from control value of 29.7 +/- 2.1 to 19.1 +/- 2.1 Torr, where it remained. Hemoglobin increased from 10.0 +/- 1.0 to 12.9 +/- 1.9 g/dl by day 7, where it remained. This was associated with an increase of erythropoietin from 22.8 +/- 2.2 to 144 +/- 37 mU/ml within 24 h, but by day 7 it had returned to levels slightly above normal. Epinephrine also increased mode...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
