Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

To evaluate the effect of chronic maternal alcohol consumption on plasma amino acid and glucose levels in both the fetus and the mother, female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 dietary treatment groups. Group 1 (alcohol) was fed ad libitum a stock diet plus 20% alcohol in drinking water for at least 4 weeks before mating and 30% alcohol during gestation. Group 2 was pair-fed the stock diet plus corn starch calorically equivalent to the amount of alcohol consumed by group 1 animals. Group 3 (control) received the stock diet and water ad libitum. On day 21 of gestation the fetuses of alcohol-treated dams weighed significantly less than those of the control and pair-fed groups. Fetal plasma glucose levels were significantly lower in the alcohol group when compared to those of the pair-fed and control groups, while the maternal glucose levels were similar in all three treatment groups. Plasma amino acid concentrations showed no corresponding trends in mother and fetus. Only proline was significantly reduced and alpha-amino-n-butyric acid elevated in the alcohol-treated dams when compared to the pair-fed and control rats. In the fetal plasma, only aspartic acid was significantly lower in the alcohol group when compared to the other two groups. A moderate degree of dehydration occurred in the alcohol-treated dams, but plasma albumin was within normal levels. It is concluded that the marked decrease in the concentration of plasma glucose in alcohol-exposed fetuses may be partially responsible for their retarded growth.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
