Fetal growth is controlled by the placenta which mediates fetal nutritional supplies. During pregnancy, the placenta secretes a specific placental growth hormone which replaces the pituitary growth hormone in the maternal circulation. Placental growth hormone is one example of the materno-placental cooperation which is impaired in cases of intra-uterine growth retardation.
胎儿的生长由胎盘控制,胎盘介导胎儿的营养供应。在怀孕期间,胎盘会分泌一种特定的胎盘生长激素,它在母体循环中替代了垂体生长激素。胎盘生长激素是母胎合作的一个例子,在子宫内生长迟缓的情况下,这种合作会受到损害。
