Trophoblasts are cells in the human placenta that play a vital role in fetal growth and pregnancy. This book discusses the role of nutrients on human placental development with particular focus on the impact of nutrients on trophoblast function. Exposure to nutrients in utero is critical, as it affects the development of chronic diseases such as type2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and obesity in later life. The text also reviews the role of fatty acids, folic acids and specific vitamins.
