Maternal obesity and increased neonatal adiposity correspond with altered infant mesenchymal stem cell metabolism
1 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Maternal obesity is a global health problem that increases offspring obesity risk. The metabolic pathways underlying early developmental programming in human infants at risk for obesity remain poorly understood, largely due to barriers in fetal/infant tissue sampling. Utilizing umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (uMSC) from offspring of normal weight and obese mothers, we tested whether energy...
