Objective Maternal obesity increases the incidence of excess adiposity in newborns,
resulting in lifelong diabetes risk. Elevated intrauterine fetal adiposity has been attributed to …

Background: Obesity before pregnancy is associated with impaired metabolic status of the
mother and the offspring later in life. These adverse effects have been attributed to …

Obese women, on average, give birth to babies with high fat mass. Placental lipid
metabolism alters fetal lipid delivery, potentially moderating neonatal adiposity, yet how it is …

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions and pregnancies in obese mothers have
increased risk for complications including gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders …

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with increased fetal
adiposity, which may increase the risk of obesity in adulthood. The placenta has insulin …

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

Pregestational obesity is a significant risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Maternal
obesity is associated with a specific proinflammatory, endocrine and metabolic phenotype …

Infants born to obese mothers have an increased risk of developing obesity and metabolic
disease in childhood and adulthood. Although the molecular mechanisms linking maternal …

Maternal obesity is associated with pregnancy complications and increases the risk for the
infant to develop obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life. However, the …

OBJECTIVE: Changes in metabolic homeostasis in pregnant diabetic women are potential
determinants of increased adiposity of the fetus. The aim of this study was to characterize …
