Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Fetal Weight:

1.	Insulin (Novolin)FDA Link 01/01/1987 - "Insulin administration significantly improved the fetal body weight but did not change the malformation rate in the group made diabetic during organogenesis" 05/01/2008 - "Even if rapid overgrowth is assumed, starting after the time of interruption of insulin at 30 weeks of gestation, fetal weight gain appears to be about 400g per week, suggesting a weight increase at twice the normal rate" 03/01/2008 - "Women using pump therapy had similar mean growth velocity Z scores (1.5 versus 1.36; p=0.83), similar mean estimated fetal weight Z scores prior to delivery (2.80 versus 2.16; p=0.16) and similar mean birthweight Z scores (2.09 versus 2.00; p=0.86) compared to women using conventional insulin therapy" 08/01/2004 - "Complications: 56.1% were macrosomic babies, with a mean fetal weight of 3.48+/-0.73 Kg, with no differences according to treatment (insulin vs. OA)" 03/01/2003 - "Pair-feeding db/+ mothers to the intake of WT mothers normalized fetal weight despite less than normal maternal insulin sensitivity" Order ALL the reference details at left...

3.	Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol)IBA 10/01/1989 - "Ethanol consumption resulted in a significant reduction in fetal weight on day 18 of pregnancy" 08/01/2006 - "Exposure to 20% ethanol decreased fetal weight by 9-13% in the three groups" 06/01/2006 - "The chronic maternal ethanol regimen decreased fetal body weight and brain weight" 03/01/2005 - "Prenatal ethanol exposure at 36% EDC decreased fetal body weight, length, and skeletal ossification compared with PF and C fetuses on d21 gestation" 04/01/2003 - "For viable conceptuses, ethanol consumption reduced (p < 0.01) fetal weight, fetal crown-rump length, placental weight and volume of placental (chorio-allantoic + amniotic) fluid" Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Liver GlycogenIBA 04/01/1985 - "Fetal hypoinsulinaemia was associated, however, with a marked decrease in fetal liver glycogen together with a decrease in fetal liver weight, which was more pronounced than the decrease in fetal body weight" 08/01/2006 - "In contrast, fetal weight was elevated by late GH treatment, and these fetuses had higher relative carcass fat content, perirenal fat mass, and liver glycogen concentrations than all other groups" 01/01/1991 - "Fetal weight (3.61 vs. 2.86 kg) was decreased in the fasted group (p less than 0.001) while fetal hepatic glycogen was unchanged (59.8 vs. 52.4 mg/g tissue)" 05/22/1978 - "These treatments also markedly increased both fetal weight and fetal liver glycogen stores" 05/22/1978 - "Thyro-parathyroidectomy of pregnant Rats at 12.5 days of gestation decreased maternal liver glycogen on 21.5 days of gestation and fetal weight as well as fetal liver glycogen stores" Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Methionine (L-Methionine)FDA Link 02/01/2002 - "Alcohol and methionine plus alcohol numerically enhanced embryonic resorption and induced a significant reduction in fetal body weight" 10/01/2005 - "However, fetal weights were significantly smaller and percent of dead fetuses were 15% higher in methionine-treated compared with control rats" 02/01/2002 - "The higher dose of methionine did not produce a particularly beneficial effect on embryonic survival, fetal body weight and occurrence of exencephaly" 09/01/2005 - "Of note were the 364% increase in AF methionine and the constant decline in AF taurine as both gestational age lengthened and fetal weight increased" 08/01/1983 - "Fetal weight and gross appearance were not affected by exposure to nitrous oxide; however, the observed decrease in thymidine and methionine syntheses after nitrous oxide exposure may account for its teratogenic effects."

6.	Tretinoin (Retinoic Acid)FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/1997 - "Group IV had significantly reduced mean fetal body weight (p < or = 0.01) and a greater frequency of resorptions compared with group I. Although external, visceral, or skeletal alterations occurred at significantly greater levels in group III, they were unrelated to tretinoin administration because the fetal incidences were not dosage dependent, and the litter incidence did not significantly differ from the control group values" 01/01/2005 - "Administration of retinoic acid at all doses resulted in statistically significant decreases in mean fetal weight and mean fetal height and the increase in mortality rate, and caused severe ultrastructural damages in Meckel's cartilage" 03/01/1997 - "CONCLUSION: Maternally toxic dosages of tretinoin were associated with an increased incidence of abortions and resorptions and reduced fetal body weight, two end points of developmental toxicity" 01/01/2005 - "Folic acid administration prevented the decrease in mean fetal weight and height of the embryos treated with retinoic acid of 40 mg/kg. In addition, there was a marked decrease in the number of degenerated chondrocytes and an improvement in the structure of granular endoplasmic reticulum along with intact nuclei" 02/01/1996 - "Under the conditions here, simultaneous administration of Ro 31-0521 with all-trans-retinoic acid appeared to reduce the total percentage of abnormal fetuses seen after exposure to retinoic acid alone, but fetal body weights remained depressed and the numbers of dead embryos remained elevated, suggesting only limited influence of the cyclohexanetrione on retinoid developmental toxicity."

7.	Hemoglobins (Hemoglobin)IBA 11/01/2007 - "On multivariate analysis, the estimated fetal weight, interval from ultrasound to delivery, hemoglobin A1C level, gestational age at ultrasound, and classification of glycemic control were independently associated with the birthweight" 09/01/2003 - "As observed previously, fetal weight was correlated (r = 0.38; P < 0.01) with blood hemoglobin concentration" 04/01/1998 - "Conclusions were that 1) Days 24-40 of gestation is a critical time for fetal erythropoiesis in pigs as well as survival in a crowded uterine environment, 2) the MS breed may differ in the development of the fetal erythropoietic system because of altered fetal or uterine physiology, and 3) the UHO procedure did not significantly affect erythropoiesis in the fetuses studied but did alter fetal survival and the relationship between fetal weight and both hematocrit and hemoglobin on Day 40." 04/01/2004 - "STUDY DESIGN: Birth weights in 235 term pregnancies were investigated for their dependence on maternal hemoglobin concentration after other maternal and pregnancy-specific influences on fetal weight were taken into account" 08/01/2006 - "The association with age, parity, ethnicity, body mass index, gestational age, estimated fetal weight, blood pressure, antihypertensive medication, pulse rate, hemoglobin concentration, admitting center, diagnosis at inclusion, chronic hypertension, and thrombophilia was explored by logistic regression analysis" Order ALL the reference details at left...
