Abstract
We studied development of the fetal serotonergic central nervous system in a baboon, non-human primate model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Fetal (90% of full-term) IUGR brains were comparable in size to controls, but have reduced expression of serotonergic proteins and mRNAs, as well as having fewer serotonergic neurons.Entities:
