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 …

During late gestation, although maternal adipose tissue lipolytic activity becomes enhanced,
lipolytic products cross the placenta with difficulty. Under fasting conditions, free fatty acids …

Whereas accumulation of fat depots occurs during the first two-thirds of gestation, increased
adipose tissue lipolysis and hyperlipidemia develops in the last trimester. Insulin resistance …

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 …

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 …

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 …

During early pregnancy there is an increase in body fat accumulation, associated with both
hyperphagia and increased lipogenesis. During late pregnancy there is an accelerated …

The most common neonatal complication of gestational diabetes (GDM) is macrosomia.
During early pregnancy an accumulation of maternal fat depots occurs followed by …

During pregnancy, maternal plasma fatty acids are critically required for cell growth and
development, cell signaling, and the development of critical structural and functional aspects …

There is increasing recognition that maternal glucose concentrations lower than those
previously used for diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and targeted for …
