Obesity is a chronic condition associated with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Here, we
show that the offspring of obese mothers are dyslipidemic and insulin resistant from the …

Background: Obesity before pregnancy is associated with impaired metabolic status of the
mother and the offspring later in life. These adverse effects have been attributed to …

Objective Maternal obesity increases the incidence of excess adiposity in newborns,
resulting in lifelong diabetes risk. Elevated intrauterine fetal adiposity has been attributed to …

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 obese women have low mitochondrial β-oxidation of fatty acids (FA) and
accumulate lipids in late pregnancy. This creates a lipotoxic environment, impairing …

Background Maternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may independently
influence offspring fat mass and metabolic disease susceptibility. In this pilot study, body …

Metabolic-related diseases are attributed to a sedentary lifestyle and eating habits, and
there is now an increased awareness regarding pregnancy as a preponderant window in …

Obese women, on average, give birth to babies with high fat mass. Placental lipid
metabolism alters fetal lipid delivery, potentially moderating neonatal adiposity, yet how it is …

Pregravid obesity is one of the major risk factors for pregnancy complications such as
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and an increased risk of cardiovascular events in …

OBJECTIVE—Offspring of mothers with type 1 diabetes (OT1DM) demonstrate increased fat
deposition, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperleptinemia in utero. We examined the influence of …
