• Adaptation to pregnancy involves major changes in maternal metabolism to provide for the growing demands of the conceptus

Although changes in glucose metabolism, andpossibly in fatty acid metabolism, occur in parallel with the increasing energy demands of the mother and the fetus, adaptation of protein metabolism appears to be in anticipation of maternal and fetal needs

• During pregnancy, there is an excess of maternal nitrogen in the form of lean body mass over that deposited in the fetus and the products of conception

• there is also a pregnancy-induced hypoaminoacidemia and a diminished amino acid response to protein intake, suggesting an increased uptake of amino acids in the splanchnic compartment

• data from several studies in humans and in animal models showed that glucose is the primary source of energy for the fetus, whereas accretion of nitrogen and protein is an essential component of fetal growth and synthesis of new fetal and maternal tissues.

• increases in the placenta, fetus, uterus, red blood cells, and plasma, 229 mmol K was gained by the mother in other tissues. This represents an additional accretion of nitrogen of <90 g or <550 g protein equivalents

PLASMA AMINO ACIDS IN PREGNANCY
• Several studies showed that pregnancy is associated with gestation-induced hypoaminoacidemia during fasting, which is evident early in gestation and persists throughout pregnancy

• more profound reduction in glucogenic amino acids—alanine, serine, threonine, glutamine, and glutamate

• A diminished plasma amino acid response to nutrient uptake suggests an increased splanchnic uptake of amino acids

UREA SYNTHESIS DURING PREGNANCY
• attenuated rate of urea synthesis during pregnancy
• lower concentration of blood urea nitrogen is apparent early in gestation and has been attributed to an increase in renal clearance
