    Description

    This volume looks in depth at the growth of the fetus and neonate. It begins with an overview of the physiology and endocrinology of normal growth before looking at the pathophysiology and clinical applications. Several chapters focus on fetal growth retardation and the challenges this condition poses for the clinician. The authors fully address measurement and assessment of fetal growth and well being. Another important theme is the programming of adult diseases early in the development of the fetus.

    • Includes an important contribution by Professor Barker on fetal programming of adult disease
    • Looks at the causes and consequences of fetal growth retardation

    Reviews & endorsements

    'This book is full of goodies for anyone who has more than a cursory interest in fetal growth ... Hopefully this book will help to increase interest and reserch in this area.' Jason Gardosi, British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology

    : Journal

    Zygote is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of original research in early embryology. It covers interdisciplinary studies in animals and humans, from gametogenesis through fertilization to gastrulation. The scope includes gametogenesis, sperm–oocyte interaction, gamete and embryo physiology, cell polarity, cell–cell interactions, nuclear transfer, haploidization, molecular genetics, developmental genetics, in-vitro fertilization, and stem-cell and cryoconservation technologies. The editors favour work describing fundamental processes in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of animal development, and, in particular, the identification of unifying principles in biology. New technologies, clinical papers, review articles, debates and letters will become prominent features.
