The similar central airway resistance (Rn) between groups corroborate that the peripheral lung is remodelled by FGR, as suggested by structural findings of altered alveolar structure. Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with respiratory morbidity in animal models and humans. Conclusions FGR does not influence overall lung growth but disrupts lung development and leads to significant alteration of peripheral lung mechanics and compliance in the rabbit model.
