Maternal and Cord Blood Lipids in Pregnant Women With Obesity and Their Impact on Neonatal and Placental Biometric Features
Compared with controls, obesity in pregnancy is associated with a significant increase in maternal and cord blood lipids, with a positive association between maternal and cord triglycerides and birthweight and placental weight. These findings suggest a further insight into maternal obesity pathophysiology leading to excessive fetal growth, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance in the offspring.
