Low weight at birth is associated with subsequent susceptibility to diabetes. Epigenetic
modulation is among the mechanisms potentially mediating this association. We performed …

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse effects in the offspring. The
composition of placental glycerophospholipids (GPL) is known to be altered in GDM and …

Objective Fetal exposures may impact offspring epigenetic signatures and adiposity. The
authors hypothesized that maternal metabolic traits associate with cord blood DNA …

Objective In this study, we aimed to investigate relationships between maternal
prepregnancy obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus and placental leptin DNA …

Marked dyslipidemia may contribute to endothelial cell dysfunction in pre‐eclampsia.
Carriers of N291S or D9N missense mutations in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene exhibit …

Introduction Placental fatty acid (FA) uptake and metabolism depend on maternal supply
which may be altered when women have a high pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) or …

An adverse intrauterine or periconceptional environment, such as hyperglycemia during
pregnancy, can affect the DNA methylation pattern both in mothers and their offspring. In this …

This study investigated how maternal overnutrition and obesity regulate expression and
activation of proteins that facilitate lipid transport in the placenta. To create a maternal …

Higher maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (ppBMI) is associated with increased
neonatal morbidity, as well as with pregnancy complications and metabolic outcomes in …

Background A small number of recent reports have suggested that altered placental DNA
methylation may be associated with early onset preeclampsia. It is important that further …
