Metabolic scaling law for fetus and placenta
Carolyn M. Salafia, Michael Yampolsky
TL;DR
This paper introduces a metabolic scaling law specific to fetus and placenta, adapting Kleiber's law to understand their metabolic relationships.
Contribution
It proposes a new scaling law for fetus and placenta metabolism, extending Kleiber's law to prenatal development.
Findings
A derived mathematical model for fetal and placental metabolism
Validation of the scaling law with empirical data
Insights into metabolic efficiency during pregnancy
Abstract
