Fetal epigenetic programming of the IGF axis in pregnancies affected by growth disorders, gestational diabetes and obesity

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Gestational diabetes and maternal obesity are associated with impaired maternal glycaemic control and increased risk of delivering a macrosomic fetus. Macrosomic as well as growth restricted neonates have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease in adult life which may be mediated through an altered intra-uterine environment. The placenta acts as a mediator between the mother and the fetu...
