aP2-Cre-mediated inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 causes growth retardation and reduced lipid accumulation in adipose tissues.

22 Sep 2009 Adipose tissue is one of the major sites for fatty acid synthesis and lipid storage. We generated adipose (fat)-specific ACC1 knockout (FACC1KO) mice using the aP2-Cre/loxP system. FACC1KO mice showed prenatal growth retardation; after weaning, ... Read more...

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase is up-regulated in the umbilical cord in pregnancies complicated with intrauterine growth retardation.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: NO and NO synthases (NOS) play an important role in the physiology of the fetomaternal blood circulation, although their expression in pathological conditions is unclear. Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is a disorder most probably ... Read more...

Treatment of severe achalasia during pregnancy with esophagoscopic injection of botulinum toxin A: a case report.

30 Aug 2009 A pregnant Thai woman presented with progressive dysphagia starting from the gestational age of 18 weeks. Total parenteral nutrition was administered at 33 weeks of gestation due to severe malnutrition. The fetus was found to be growth restricted. ... Read more...
