Objective More than 100,000 assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles are started
yearly in the US Partly due to our inability to select the best embryo (s) to be transferred, a …

This paper describes a metabonomics study of 2nd trimester biofluids (amniotic fluid,
maternal urine, and blood plasma), in an attempt to correlate biofluid metabolic changes …

Introduction Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, high
blood pressure and diabetes in adult life. Fetal growth is determined by nutrient availability …

Research question Is a mixture of preconception serum lipids and lipophilic micronutrients
associated with clinical pregnancy and live births? Design In this prospective cohort study …

The elucidation of dynamic metabolomic changes during gestation is particularly important
for the development of methods to evaluate pregnancy status or achieve earlier detection of …

Background An excessive rise in maternal lipids during pregnancy may have detrimental
impacts on maternal and fetal health leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes. However …

Objective To evaluate the rate of change in serum lipids and the factors associated with their
variations, stratifying for pre‐pregnancy body mass index (BMI) categories. Design …

Background Metabolomics has the potential to be a powerful and sensitive approach for
investigating the low molecular weight metabolite profiles present in maternal fluids and …

Fetal growth may be impaired by poor placental function or maternal conditions, each of
which can influence the transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the developing …

Introduction Sphingolipids can be potentially involved in the formation of the central and
peripheral nervous systems, which are particularly connected with the pathogenesis of …
