Sentences with phrase «maternal iron intake»

The scientists found that maternal iron intake correlated inversely with fractional anisotropy (FA)-- a unit of measurement in DTI that is a useful measurement of tissue organization in the brain — at locations scattered throughout the gray matter of the brain.

The DTI images — taken at an average of 20 days after birth — were used to associate maternal iron intake during pregnancy to differences in cortical gray matter and, to a lesser extent, in major axonal pathways within the underlying white matter of the brain.

Not exact matches
