The intrauterine environment can have a significant impact on fetal and maternal well-being,
both during pregnancy and in later life. We aimed to identify how fetal sex and maternal …

Context: The impact of specific maternal fuels and metabolic measures during early and late
gestation on neonatal body composition is not well defined. Objective: To determine how …

Background Newborns exhibit substantial variation in fat mass accretion over gestation.
These individual differences in newborn adiposity extend into infancy and childhood and …

Context Pregnancy is characterized by progressive decreases in glucose insulin sensitivity.
Low insulin sensitivity resulting in hyperglycemia is associated with higher neonatal …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of maternal prepregnancy overweight and obesity on
gestational age-dependent variation in lipid levels during pregnancy. METHODS: Women …

Emerging evidence suggests that fetal environmental exposures impact on future
development of obesity. The objectives of this study were to assess the relationships …

Maternal obesity may be associated with metabolic factors that affect the intrauterine
environment, fetal growth, and the offspring's long‐term risk for chronic disease. Among …

Objectives Pregnancy is associated with physiological alterations in insulin sensitivity and
lipid metabolism. This study investigates the associations between pregestational body …

Background The in-utero environment affects fetal development; it is vital to understand how
maternal diet during pregnancy influences childhood body composition. While research …

Background Pregnancy is a time of altered metabolic functioning and maternal blood lipid
profiles change to accommodate the developing fetus. While these changes are …
