Abstract
The author reviews the comparative physiology of fetal nutrition among mammals; criteria for assessing fetal nutrition; embryonic growth rate and birth wt.; the role of the placenta; carbo-hydrate, lipin, protein, and mineral metabolism; vit. requirements and storage; and intermediate metabolism.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
