Diabetes mellitus (DM) during pregnancy can result in fetal overgrowth, likely due to
placental dysfunction, which has health consequences for the infant. Here we test our …

Maternal diabetes can cause fetal macrosomia and increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and
cardiovascular disease in adulthood of the offspring. Although increased transplacental lipid …

Background and aims Placental lipid transport is altered in women with high prepregnancy
body mass index (pre-BMI) or gestational diabetes (GDM), which consequently affects foetal …

Placentas of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) exhibit an altered lipid
metabolism. The mechanism by which GDM is linked to alterations in placental lipid …

Maternal hypercholesterolemia (HC) during pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus
(GDM) are associated with disturbance of fetal development which may also modify key …

Purpose Recently, alterations in maternal lipid metabolism were associated with gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, detailed plasma lipid profiles and their relevance for …

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 …

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 …

Placental metabolism is an important mechanism for the regulation of fetal growth and long-
term health of the newborns. In this study, we investigated the effects of maternal metabolic …

Dyslipidemia is a characteristic of maternal obesity and previous studies have demonstrated
abnormalities in fatty acid oxidation and storage in term placentas. However, there is little …
