Aromatic amine antioxidants (AAs), as rubber additives, and their ozone photochemical oxidation products of -phenylenediamine quinone (PPD-Qs) have attracted great attention recently due to their wide environmental occurrences and toxicity. However, there is currently no research on the exposure risks during pregnancy and their trans-placental transfer mechanisms. Herein, 20 AAs and six PPD-Qs were analyzed in 60 maternal urine and fifty-six amniotic fluid samples ( = 53 pairs).

Medication use during pregnancy poses risks to both the mother and the fetus. These risks include an elevated potential for fetotoxicity due to placental drug transport. Nanomedicines offer a promising solution by potentially preventing trans-placental passage.

The placenta is a gatekeeper between the mother and fetus, adapting its structure and functions to support optimal fetal growth. Studies exploring adaptations of placentae that support the development of genetically small fetuses are lacking. Here, using a mouse model of impaired fetal growth, achieved by deleting insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) in the epiblast, we assessed placental nutrient transfer and umbilical artery (UA) blood flow during late gestation.

Obesity has become a global health challenge also affecting reproductive health. In pregnant women, obesity increases the risk of complications such as preterm birth, macrosomia, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia. Moreover, obesity is associated with long-term adverse effects for the offspring, including increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and neurodevelopmental difficulties.
