Rationale: Maternal obesity is associated with asthma in the offspring. Whether cord blood
leptin is associated with risk of asthma in offspring is unclear. Objectives: To assess whether …

Introduction: Gestational weight gain is an important modifiable factor known to influence
fetal outcomes including birth weight and adiposity. Leptin is normally correlated with …

ABSTRACT A high-fat diet (HFD) during pregnancy influences the neurodevelopment of
progeny, particularly in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in cognitive processes …

Objectives: To evaluate maternal and fetal Leptin and IL33 concentrations in pregnancy
complicated by obesity and preeclampsia. Study design: A case-control study including 35 …

Context Lifestyle interventions have not efficaciously reduced complications caused by
maternal weight on fetal growth, requiring insight into explanatory mediators. Objective We …

Introduction Strategies to limit excessive maternal gestational weight gain could also have
positive health effects for the offspring. This study informs us on the effect of an antenatal …

Results Strong correlations were observed between the concentrations of folate in amniotic
fluid and maternal serum (rho= 0.67, p< 0.001) and amniotic fluid and cord blood serum …

The placenta regulates the fetal nutrient supply, which further influences fetal long-term
health. Therefore, an insight into the placental function can be a key to improving the future …
