Abstract: 1 Many human fetuses have to adapt to a limited supply of nutrients In doing so they permanently change their structure and metabolism 2 These 'programmed' changes may be the origins of a number of diseases in later life, including coronary heart disease and the related disorders stroke, diabetes and hypertension 3 This review examines the evidence linking these diseases to fetal undernutrition and provides an overview of previous studies in this area

The Fetus as a Cardiac Patient: Assessment and Therapy of Cardiovascular Pathology before Birth.
TL;DR: This special issue on the fetus as a cardiac patient addresses ethical issues relating to fetal diagnosis of a major abnormality with special emphasis on cardiac malformations and a comprehensive review of pathologic findings in the developing brain of the fetus and infant with congenital heart disease.

TL;DR: This paper identified 461 transcripts associated with gestational age (range 23-41 weeks) and 2093 candidate CpG sites for GA-involved epigenetic memory through analysis of methylome (110 cord blood and 47 postnatal blood) and transcriptional data (55 cord blood).
Fetal programming of adipose tissue function: an evolutionary perspective
TL;DR: This review serves to reconcile ethnic variations in BAT development and function with ethnic differences in birth weight outcomes to argue that the variation in obesity susceptibility between ethnic groups may have its origins in the in utero programming of BATDevelopment and function as a result of evolutionary adaptation to cold environments.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the maternal environment is a long‐term determinant of phenotypic differences in sensitivity to stressors is supported.

Prognostic Implications of Echocardiographically Determined Left Ventricular Mass in the Framingham Heart Study
TL;DR: The estimation of left ventricular mass by echocardiography offers prognostic information beyond that provided by the evaluation of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and it is concluded that an increase in left Ventricular mass predicts a higher incidence of clinical events, including death, attributable to cardiovascular disease.

Sick individuals and sick populations
TL;DR: Aetiology confronts two distinct issues: the determinant of individual cases, and the determinants of incidence rate: if exposure to a necessary agent is homogeneous within a population, then case/control and cohort methods will fail to detect it.
Infant mortality, childhood nutrition, and ischaemic heart disease in England and Wales.
David J.P. Barker,Clive Osmond +1 more
TL;DR: Although the rise in ischaemic heart disease in England and Wales has been associated with increasing prosperity, mortality rates are highest in the least affluent areas.

Fetal and infant growth and impaired glucose tolerance at age 64.
C. N. Hales,David J.P. Barker,Penelope M.S. Clark,Lorna Cox,Caroline H.D. Fall,Clive Osmond,P D Winter +6 more
TL;DR: Reduced growth in early life is strongly linked with impaired glucose tolerance and non-insulin dependent diabetes and reduced early growth is also related to a raised plasma concentration of 32-33 split proinsulin, which is interpreted as a sign of beta cell dysfunction.

Fetal nutrition and cardiovascular disease in adult life
David J.P. Barker,Peter D. Gluckman,Keith M. Godfrey,Jane E. Harding,Julie A. Owens,J. S. Robinson +5 more
TL;DR: This paper shows how fetal undernutrition at different stages of gestation can be linked to these patterns of early growth in babies who are small at birth or during infancy.
