Birth characteristics of offspring and parental diabetes: evidence for the fetal insulin hypothesis

16 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

irth weight of people is related to their risk of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), which may reflect intra-uterine programming of disease risk, or common genetic factors related both to birth weight and to NIDDM risk. The latter has been called the ''fetal insulin hypothesis''. 1 Currently there is little direct evidence for this hypothesis, although two studies have shown an inverse association...
