Abstract
Throughout gestation, the human fetus accumulates the elements required for growth, oxidizes fuel transported from the mother, and excretes waste products transplacentally. In the last half of pregnancy, it also accumulates the energy stores which permit the independent maintenance of homeostasis during postnatal fasting. Thus, food ingested by the mother not only is consumed for her own needs but also is modified appropriately for uptake by the conceptus.
