Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jacqueline M Wallace"
- Jacqueline M Wallace's research primarily focuses on the interplay between maternal nutrition, adolescent growth, and perinatal outcomes, particularly concerning sheep models that replicate human pregnancy-related challenges such as low birth weight and preterm delivery due to nutrient competition during pregnancy.
- Key findings highlight that maternal weight gain and dietary conditions significantly influence fetal growth, adipose tissue development, and overall health outcomes throughout life, suggesting that poor prenatal nutrition can have lasting effects on metabolic health in offspring.
- Wallace has developed a new placental weight standard that better correlates with pregnancy complications compared to existing models, emphasizing the importance of maternal size in assessing placental function and associated risks during and after pregnancy.
