Reliability of routine anthropometric measurements to estimate body composition in term infants
Birth weight percentiles provide limited information on qualitative infant growth. Body composition provides estimates of fat mass, fat-free mass, and body fat percentage (adiposity). We sought to implement as...

Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Follow-Up Study: newborn anthropometrics and childhood glucose metabolism
We aimed to examine associations of newborn anthropometric measures with childhood glucose metabolism with the hypothesis that greater newborn birthweight, adiposity and cord C-peptide are associated with high...

Do variations in insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in pregnancy predict differences in obstetric and neonatal outcomes?
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is generally defined based on glycaemia during an OGTT, but aetiologically includes women with defects in insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity or a combination of both. In...

Longitudinal changes in glucose metabolism in women with gestational diabetes, from late pregnancy to the postpartum period
This study aimed to determine, in women with gestational diabetes (GDM), the changes in insulin sensitivity (Matsuda Insulin Sensitivity Index; ISOGTT), insulin response and disposition index (DI) from late pregn...

Augmented insulin secretory response in early pregnancy
This study aimed to examine changes in the insulin secretory response in early pregnancy, while accounting for changes in insulin sensitivity.

Maternal glucose levels during pregnancy and childhood adiposity in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Follow-up Study
Maternal type 2 diabetes during pregnancy and gestational diabetes are associated with childhood adiposity; however, associations of lower maternal glucose levels during pregnancy with childhood adiposity, ind...

Causal relationship between obesity-related traits and TLR4-driven responses at the maternal–fetal interface
Obesity triggers complex inflammatory networks within the innate immune system. During pregnancy, the placenta amplifies the low-grade inflammation through activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signalling ...

Open AccessA retrospective cohort study of factors relating to the longitudinal change in birth weight
Recent reports have shown a decrease in birth weight, a change from prior steady increases. Therefore we sought to describe the demographic and anthropometric changes in singleton term fetal growth.

Are the metabolic changes of pregnancy reversible in the first year postpartum?
Maternal metabolic alterations are essential to achieve healthy pregnancy outcomes, but increasing maternal parity may be associated with long-term metabolic dysfunction risk. As existing data are limited by s...

Quality of Growth in Exclusively Breast-Fed Infants in the First Six Months of Life: An Italian Study
Nutrition in early life, growth, and subsequent health over a lifetime are significantly interrelated. The aim of this study was to assess body composition changes in exclusively breast-fed infants from birth ...

Glucose Metabolism in Pregnancy
The longitudinal changes in glucose homeostasis that occur during normal human pregnancy provide for both maternal and fetoplacental metabolic demands. There are major adaptations in maternal glucose metabolis...
