Amniotrophic and Lactotrophic Nutrition of the Fetus and Neonate
Nutrition is the major factor of harmonious growth and development of the fetus. Amniotrophic nutrition is ensured by autolytic digestion in the gastrointestinal tract of the fetus with participation of increted digestive enzymes. Hydrolases arrive from the mother's blood to the amniotic fluid. After birth, the newborn infant is transferred to lactotrophic nutrition.
