Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a disorder defined as the failure of a fetus to achieve its full biological development potential due to decreased placental function, which can be attributed to a range of reasons. FGR is linked to negative health outcomes during the perinatal period, including increased morbidity and mortality. Long-term health problems, such as impaired neurological and cognitive development, as well as cardiovascular and endocrine diseases, have also been found in adulthood. Aspirin administered prophylactically to high-risk women can effectively prevent FGR. FGR pregnancy care comprises several steps, including the weekly assessment of several blood vessels using Doppler measurements, amniotic fluid index (AFI), estimated fetal weight (EFW), cardiotocography (CTG), as well as delivery by 37 weeks. Pregnancy is a complex condition characterized by metabolic adjustments that guarantee a consistent provision of vital metabolites allowing the fetus to grow and develop. The lipoprotein lipid physiology during pregnancy has significant consequences for both the fetus and baby, and for the mother. In the course of a typical pregnancy, cholesterol levels increase by roughly 50%, LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) levels by 30-40%, HDL-C by 25% (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). Typically, there is also a 2- to 3-fold increase in triglycerides. Low maternal blood cholesterol levels during pregnancy are linked to a decrease in birth weight and an increased occurrence of microcephaly. FGR impacts the placenta during pregnancy, resulting in alterations in lipid metabolism. Research has been undertaken to distinguish variations in protein expression between normal placentas and those impacted by FGR. This can aid in comprehending the fundamental pathogenic mechanisms of FGR and perhaps pave the way for the creation of novel diagnostic and treatment methods. Commonly employed approaches for detecting and analyzing variations in placental proteomes include mass spectrometry, bioinformatic analysis, and various proteomic techniques.

The potential impact of inflammation on the lipid paradox in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a multicenter study.

Background: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, several clinical studies demonstrated an inverse association between LDL-C and mortality risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), known as the lipid paradox. This study aims to investigate the potential impact of inflammation on the association between LDL-C levels and mortality risks.

Effect of Bisphenol F on Reproductive Function in F1 Generation Male Mice and its Potential Mechanisms.

December 2024

Key Laboratory of the Provincial Education, Department of Heilongjiang for Common Animal Disease Prevention and Treatment, College of Veterinary Medicine, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin 150030, China. Electronic address:

Bisphenol F (BPF) is an environmental endocrine disruptor capable of crossing the placental barrier and affecting the growth and development of offspring. Despite its potential impact, systematic research about effects of BPF on the reproductive function of male offspring remains limited. In this study, pregnant female mice were exposed to BPF at doses of 40, 400, and 4000 μg/kg during gestation and lactation, respectively, to evaluate its impact on testicular damage, testosterone levels, and spermatogenesis of male offspring (F1 generation), and further explore the mechanisms using transcriptomics.

Introduction: Brain cholesterol relies on de novo biosynthesis and is crucial for brain development. Cholesterol synthesis is a complex series of reactions that involves more than twenty enzymes to reach the final product and generates a large number of intermediate sterols along two alternate pathways. This is a highly regulated and oxygen-dependent process, and thus sensitive to hypoxia.

Uterine Fibroids (UF) are the most common (about 70 % cases) benign gynecological smooth muscle tumors of the uterus in women of reproductive age, characterized by abnormal cholesterol, lipoproteins, and triglyceride levels, and are a major public health concern. Despite its high prevalence, this condition remains complex and poorly understood. These tumors are hormone-dependent and hormones and lipid levels are inversely related.
