Maternal Undernutrition Exacerbates Effects of Ambient Heat during Pregnancy in Mice
Collectively, our results point to an interaction between modest heat and marginal micronutrient and protein depletion on placental dysfunction and the pathogenesis of fetal growth restriction, highlighting the emerging nexus of maternal undernutrition and heat stress typically seen in resource-restrained settings.
