Placental nutrient-sensing model. The placenta integrates a multitude of maternal and fetal cues with information from intrinsic nutrient-sensing signaling pathways to match fetal demand with maternal supply by regulating maternal physiology, placental growth, and nutrient transport. In addition, the expression of imprinted genes will determine the overall long-term functional capacity of the placenta for the entire pregnancy.
