Relationships Between Regional and Ectopic Adiposity and Insulin Sensitivity in Early and Late Pregnancy
Insulin resistance in early pregnancy is strongly associated with total, regional, and ectopic adiposity. However, in late pregnancy, factors other than regional and ectopic adiposity predominately influence insulin sensitivity. Prepregnancy weight categories proportionately alter gestational weight gain, adiposity distribution, and glucometabolic responses.
