Tight metabolic control of type-1 diabetes is essential during gestation, but it could be crucial
during the periconception period. Feto-placental consequences of maternal type-1 diabetes …

In preeclampsia, maternal insulin resistance leads to defective expansion of adipocytes,
enhanced adipocyte lipolysis, up-regulation of very low density lipoprotein synthesis …

High levels of triglycerides (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA) in maternal plasma, in diabetes,
promote fat passage to the fetus. In the streptozotocin-diabetic rat a significant correlation …

The fetus requires significant energy for growth and development. Although glucose is a
major source of energy for the fetus, other maternal nutrients also appear to promote growth …

Serum lipid, apolipoprotein concentration, and lipoprotein composition were determined in
maternal and umbilical venous cord blood at delivery by elective Cesarean section (CS) in …

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 …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with reduced placental supply of
nutrients to the fetus. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) mediates the hydrolysis of triglycerides from …

The aim of this study was to determine maternal and fetal lipoprotein profiles in type 1
diabetic pregnancies differing in glycemic control. Serum lipid, apolipoprotein, and …

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 objective of this study was to describe plasma and lipoprotein perturbations in
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to controls, and determine if alterations in …
