Core Tip	The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a complex system with a combination of factors being responsible for its development. Trophic factors (TF) in amniotic fluid (AF) represent an important component that affects the development and maturation of the GIT during fetal life. We highlight the various phases of GIT development, the formation/circulation of AF, various TF in AF and the respective roles they play in fetal GIT development. We also emphasize that much remains to be known about the milieu of TF within AF. We hope this article provides an insight of what is known about such TF and what we hope to discover in the future.
