Objective To investigate the effect of reducing the n‐6/n‐3 fatty acid ratio in maternal
nutrition on the maternal and cord blood leptin axis and their association with infant body …

Background: Preterm, very-low-birth-weight (PT-VLBW) neonates are at-risk for metabolic
syndrome later in life. At 1–3 y, they exhibit excessive weight-for-length z-scores (Wt-L Z) …

Context Fetal overgrowth “programs” an elevated risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in
adulthood. Plausibly, adipokines may be involved in programming metabolic health …

Objective The perinatal period and in utero environment are important for fetal growth,
development, and fetal programming. This study aimed to determine the effect of parental …

Objective. To assess the effects of body weight, body composition, parental obesity, and
metabolic variables on the development of obesity in a large cohort of 5-year-old Native …

OBJECTIVES: To explore the longitudinal association of neonatal adiposity (fat mass
percentage) with BMI trajectories and childhood overweight and obesity from ages 2 to 6 …

Background Exposure to maternal hyperglycaemia in pregnancy has been associated with
childhood obesity. Leptin regulation might be involved in this 'adiposity programming'and …

Excess adiposity in infancy may predispose individuals to obesity later in life. The literature
on determinants of adiposity in infants is equivocal. In this longitudinal cohort study, we …

OBJECTIVE To investigate associations of maternal gestational weight gain and body
composition and their impact on offspring body composition and adipocytokine, glucose …

Control pig fetuses and fetuses hypophysectomized (hypox) at 70 days of gestation were
treated with hormones on day 90. At 105 days of gestation, subcutaneous adipose tissue …
