During development, the human fetus accrues the highest proportion of fat of all mammals.
Precursors of fat lobules can be found at week 14 of pregnancy. Thereafter, they expand …

During pregnancy, complex changes occur in lipid profiles. From the 12th week of gestation,
phospholipids, cholesterol (total, LDL, HDL), and triglycerides (TG) increase in response to …

OBJECTIVE—To determine the contribution of maternal glucose and lipids to intrauterine
metabolic environment and fetal growth in pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus …

Outcomes in pregnancies complicated by preexisting diabetes (type 1 and type 2) and
gestational diabetes mellitus have improved, but there is still excess morbidity compared …

To prevent the intergenerational transfer of obesity and end the current epidemic,
interventions are needed across the early life stages, from preconception to prenatal to …

Context: Maternal obesity, gestational diabetes (GDM), or type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is
associated with altered lipid metabolism and fetal overgrowth. Objective: The objective of the …

In cord blood, cholesterol levels are lower than in adults and the relative proportion present
in HDL as opposed to LDL is much higher. The currently available evidence suggests that …

Objective: Maternal diabetes is a risk factor for pregnancy complications, including stillbirth
and macrosomia. Evolving data suggest that diabetes during pregnancy also has long-term …

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

Abstract Phospholipids (PLs), including sphingomyelin, play important roles in cell
membrane integrity, neural and brain development, and inflammatory responses. They are …
