Leptin and adiponectin are two adipocytokines implicated in metabolism and energy balance of fetuses, newborns and adults. Moreover, these hormones have been suggested to play a role in fetal growth.

Fetal growth is controlled by insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) (9, 10). Adiponectin is a key regulator of insulin sensitivity (1).

The rising mortality due to slow fetal growth and malnutrition is concerning,” a study author said in an email to The ...

"Fetal over nutrition may facilitate fetal growth and fat accretion, as determined by cord leptin and birth weight, and may program greater adiposity in the child that extends into childhood and ...

The role of creatine in healthy pregnancies is well established, but how much is enough? A study at Hudson Institute of ...

Future Market Insights (FMI) adopted a multidisciplinary approach during the pandemic-era to focus on the growth and development of the Adiponectin Testing Market. The study features insights on the ...

New research reveals potential dangers of common dietary fats during pregnancy, highlighting the need for balanced nutrition to protect future generations. Review: Effect of a High Linoleic Acid ...

This fetal programming is more pronounced in female offspring. Limiting intake of high fructose enriched diets in pregnancy may have significant impact on long term health.

The Environmental Working Group published a study that said four out of five Americans are being exposed to a little-known chemical found in popular oat-based foods linked to reduced fertility.

Increased adiponectin levels could be a protective response to inflammatory conditions such that in low-risk individuals, they write, the higher levels protect against vascular-disease-related events.

The study, titled High fructose diet in pregnancy leads to fetal programming of hypertension, insulin resistance and obesity in adult offspring, randomly allocated either a fructose solution or ...

High maternal linoleic acid intake during pregnancy may impact fetal development and increase the risk of obesity and inflammation in offspring. However, more research is needed to fully ...
