Abstract Purpose of Review Excess fetal growth is increasingly recognized as a risk factor
for childhood obesity, and mounting evidence supports that maternal glucose is not the only …

Abstract Purpose of Review Maternal lipid metabolism greatly changes during pregnancy
and we review in this article how they influence fetal adiposity and growth under non …

Diabet. Med. 28, 1053–1059 (2011) Abstract Aims To evaluate the potential contribution of
maternal glucose and lipids to fetal metabolic variables and growth in pregnancies with …

Maternal lipids are strong determinants of fetal fat mass. Here we review the overall lipid
metabolism in normal and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies. During early …

More glucose crosses the placenta than any other substrate, but correlations between its
concentration in maternal plasma and fetal growth are not found consistently. The …

Obesity during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of short-and long-term
metabolic dysfunction in the mother and her offspring. Both higher maternal pregravid body …

Background: The increasing incidence of childhood obesity is a significant public health
challenge, the consequences of which extend across the life course. Summary: Diet and …

Abnormal maternal lipid profiles, a hallmark of increased maternal adiposity, are associated
with pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, and offspring …

The increased obstetric risks of maternal obesity have been well described. These include
