Abstract
Prenatal ethanol exposure compromises fetal growth and placentation in a dose-responsive manner. Ethanol's adverse effects on placental development are mediated by: 1) altered branching morphogenesis in labyrinthine zone; 2) suppression of invasive trophoblastic precursor cells; and 3) inhibition of trophoblastic cell adhesion and motility, corresponding with reduced ASPH and Notch-1 protein expression.
