OUTLINE
What is Developmental Programming?
What is happening at NDSU?
Nutrient delivery to the fetus

PHENOTYPE
Phenotype = Genotype + Environment
Eg. Milk production = Holstein genetics + Mastitis
Classic Animal Breeding Example
![Page 6: MATERNAL NUTRITION AND FETAL PROGRAMMING · AMA A IN ’ T H APPY, A IN ’ T N OBODY H APPY Kimberly A Vonnahme, PhD . Associate Professor . Reproductive Physiologist . Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042317/5f0599a27e708231d413c3cf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PHENOTYPE
Future Animal Breeding Example
Phenotype = Genotype + Environment Eg. Yield grade = Angus genetics + Uterine environment
![Page 7: MATERNAL NUTRITION AND FETAL PROGRAMMING · AMA A IN ’ T H APPY, A IN ’ T N OBODY H APPY Kimberly A Vonnahme, PhD . Associate Professor . Reproductive Physiologist . Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042317/5f0599a27e708231d413c3cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PROGRAMMING
The process through which a stimulus or
insult establishes a permanent response
Developmental programming hypothesis
Exposure during a critical period in
development may influence later metabolic
or physiological functions in adult life

“Farmers, ranchers and animal scientists know more about how nutrition affects fertility in cows, pigs and other commercially important animals than fertility experts know about how it affects reproduction in humans. There are small hints scattered across medical journals, but few systematic studies of this crucial connection in people”

1) During development in the womb, there are critical periods of vulnerability to suboptimal conditions.
Vulnerable periods occur at different times for different tissues.

6) Compensation carries a price. In an unfavorable environment, the developing baby makes attempts to compensate for deficiencies. However, the compensatory effort often carries a price.

Blood distribution
during pregnancy
Uteroplacental blood flow increases dramatically to support the nutritional demands of the rapidly growing fetus
Increased maternal plasma volume
30 to 40% increase
Increased maternal cardiac output
35% increase in stroke volume
15% increase in heart rate
Fractional distribution of cardiac output to the uterus

% of Cardiac Output
0.5% non-pregnant
>16% late pregnant
Note: the % of cardiac output delivered to the other tissues falls, however, absolute values of blood flow are unchanged, further pointing to the need for an expanded blood volume
