Higher maternal adiposity reduces offspring birth weight if associated with a metabolically favourable profile

2020-05-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Aims/Hypothesis</h4> Higher maternal BMI during pregnancy results in higher offspring birth weight, but it is not known whether this is solely the result of adverse metabolic consequences of higher maternal adiposity, such as maternal insulin resistance and fetal exposure to higher glucose levels, or whether there is any effect of raised adiposity through non-metabolic (e.g. mechanical) factors. We aimed to us...
