We hypothesized that if O2 is an important factor in the induction of continuous breathing, administration of O2 low enough (10%) to bring fetal arterial PO2 to about 20 torr while the fetus is breathing continuously should reverse these changes. Thus we subjected 12 chronically instrumented fetal sheep to 10% O2 for 10 minutes after the establishment of continuous breathing by O2 (4 fetuses; 137 +/- 1 days) or by O2 plus umbilical cord occlusion (8 fetuses; 134 +/- 1 days). Arterial PO2 decreased from about 250 torr to 20 torr during 10% O2. This induced a significant decrease in breathing output (EMGdi x f) related primarily to a decrease in frequency (f). In 3/5 experiments in 4 fetuses, with O2 alone, apnoea developed within 4 +/- 0.6 min; in 12/13 experiments in 8 fetuses, with added cord occlusion it developed at 5 +/- 0.6 min. With the decrease in PaO2, electrocortical activity (ECoG) switched from low to high-voltage within 6 minutes in 5/5 experiments (O2 alone) and in 11/13 (O2 plus cord occlusion). The findings suggest that umbilical cord occlusion alone is not sufficient to maintain breathing continuously and an increased PaO2 is needed. We speculate that in the fetus there is a vital link between PaO2, breathing and ECoG with low PaO2 inhibiting and high PaO2 favouring breathing and arousal.","PeriodicalId":15572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of developmental physiology","volume":"17 5","pages":"227-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12631792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effects of hyperoxia on the metabolic response to cold of the newborn rat.","authors":"A Dotta, J P Mortola","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"We asked what effects hyperoxia may have on the metabolic response to cold of the newborn rat. Whole body gaseous metabolism (VO2 and VCO2) was measured in 2-day old rats by open flow respirometry at ambient temperatures (Tamb) between 40 and 20 degrees C, changed at a rate of 0.5 degrees C/min during normoxia and hyperoxia (100% O2 breathing). In normoxia, the thermoneutral range was very narrow, at Tamb = 33-35 degrees C. A decrease in Tamb at first stimulated VO2; a further drop in Tamb below 28 degrees C reduced metabolic rate. The metabolic response to cold was not sufficient to maintain body temperature (Tb). In hyperoxia average values of VO2 were above the normoxic values at all Tamb, but the difference was mostly apparent at low Tamb; at 20 degrees C, hyperoxic VO2 averaged 73% more than in normoxia. This metabolic increase determined a significant but small rise of Tb. We conclude that in the 2-days-old rat hyperoxia has a stimulatory effect on metabolism which is Tamb-dependent, being much more apparent in the cold. This supports the concept that the normoxic VO2 of the newborn is limited by the supply of O2. However, the fact that in the cold, even in hyperoxia, VO2 did not reach very high values, and Tb was not maintained, suggests that not only O2 availability, but also the rate of O2 utilization limits the aerobic metabolic response of the newborn.","PeriodicalId":15572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of developmental physiology","volume":"17 5","pages":"247-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12631794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To test this hypothesis, the haemodynamic response of chronically instrumented newborn lambs to injections of heat-killed Group B beta-hemolytic Streptococcus (GBS) and leukotriene (LT) D4, potent pulmonary vasoconstrictors was compared before and after pretreatment with a clinically therapeutic dose of intravenous aminophylline.

Contractures are temporally related to a switch in fetal electroencephalogram (ECoG) patterns from low to high voltage. In late gestation, fetal ECoG increases in voltage. We have previously suggested that contractures may influence fetal ECoG maturation. In the present study, we hypothesized that a sustained increase in the frequency of myometrial contractures in pregnant sheep at 120-140 days gestation would accelerate maturation of the fetal ECoG. Five pregnant ewes were pulsed with oxytocin 600 microU.kg-1.min-1 intravenously for five minutes in every 30 minutes from 127.8 +/- 1.5 days gestational age for a minimum of six days. Six control ewes received pulses of saline. Fetuses of all eleven ewes were instrumented with bilateral electrodes to record fetal ECoG and nuchal muscle activity. Fetal high voltage (HV) ECoG increased in amplitude in both groups but the rate of increase was faster in the fetuses of ewes receiving oxytocin. There were no differences between the two groups in the duration of HV ECoG. The percentage increase in the amount of time the fetal nuchal muscles were active compared with the baseline day before infusion was only significant in the oxytocin infused group on the first day of oxytocin infusion. These findings support the hypothesis that myometrial activity during pregnancy has the capacity to influence fetal neural development.","PeriodicalId":15572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of developmental physiology","volume":"17 4","pages":"175-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12573523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although thyroid hormone plays a role in this change, the timing of the events suggests the participation of other factors. Using a new, denaturing SDS-PAGE procedure that cleanly resolves the beta and alpha heavy chains, we have assessed the role of beta-adrenergic stimulation on this transition in fetal and neonatal rat hearts. In control animals at embryonic day 20, less than 15% of the MHC was the alpha-form, and the proportion increased to approximately 35% by postnatal day 1 and to 80% by postnatal day 8. Although catecholamine levels rise abruptly at birth, and cyclic AMP levels increase the expression of alpha-MHC in vitro, neither premature beta-adrenergic stimulation (maternal treatment with terbutaline on embryonic days 17, 18 and 19) nor continuous prenatal blockade of beta-receptors (maternal propranolol infusions from embryonic day 7 onward) influenced the developmental profile. Because beta-receptors in fetal and neonatal heart are functionally linked to adenylate cyclase, and cyclic AMP has been shown to promote the expression of alpha-MHC, the lack of effect of terbutaline or propranolol suggests that activation of adenylate cyclase through fetal cardiac beta-receptors is not sufficient to mediate the switchover without participation of other factors, such as thyroid or steroid hormones, or hypoxia.","PeriodicalId":15572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of developmental physiology","volume":"17 4","pages":"201-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12529591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
