Add to ORKGPreterm birth (<37 weeks completed weeks of gestation) affects 9 - 12% of all live births; with the majority being moderately preterm birth (32 - 36 weeks gestation). It is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity and males have been reported to be at greater risk than females. In this thesis, I have examined the effect of moderate preterm birth, using an ovine model, on the structure of the heart and cardiomyocyte growth, and on the structure and composition of the large conduit arteries (thoracic aorta and left carotid artery). Pregnant ewes were induced to deliver vaginally using epostane (50 mg in 2 ml ethanol) at 0.9 of term (132 ± 1 days of gestation) or at term (147 ± 1 days of gestation). Clinically relevant doses of Be...
