© 2017 by the Endocrine Society. Context: Exposure to maternal adiposity during pregnancy is associated with higher offspring birth weight and greater adiposity through childhood and adult life. As birth weight reflects the summation of lean and fat... Read More about Programming of adiposity in childhood and adolescence: Associations with birth weight and cord blood adipokines.

© 2016 by the Endocrine Society. Context: Maternal adiposity in pregnancy is associated with offspring adiposity and metabolic dysfunction postnatally, including greater risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Recent genetic analyses sugges... Read More about Cord blood adipokines and lipids and adolescent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
