Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Entering pregnancy with obesity increases the risk of adverse health outcomes for parent and child. As such, research interventions are largely focused on limiting excess gestational weight gain during pregnancy, especially in those with obesity. Yet, while many lifestyle interventions are successful in reducing GWG, few affect pregnancy outcomes. Here we review work targeting the metabolic milieu instead of focusing solely on weight. RECENT FINDINGS Work done in non-pregnant populations suggests that specifically targeting glucose, triglyceride, and leptin levels or inflammatory makers improves the metabolic milieu and overall health. We posit that precision interventions that include strategies such as time restricted eating, following the 24 h movement guidelines, or reducing sedentary behavior during pregnancy can be successful approaches benefiting the maternal metabolic milieu and minimize the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Personalized tools such as continuous glucose monitors or community-based approaches play an important role in pre-conception health and should be extrapolated to pregnancy interventions to directly benefit the metabolic milieu optimizing health outcomes for both parent and child.

Maternal diet quality and associations with plasma lipid profiles and pregnancy-related cardiometabolic health. Eur J Nutr 2023; 62:3369-3381. [PMID: 37646831 PMCID: PMC10611854 DOI: 10.1007/s00394-023-03244-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the relationship of early pregnancy maternal diet quality (DQ) with maternal plasma lipids and indicators of cardiometabolic health, including blood pressure (BP), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational weight gain (GWG). METHODS Women (n = 215) aged 18-40 years with singleton pregnancies were recruited at 10-20 weeks gestation. Diet quality was assessed by the Dietary Guideline Index, calculated at early ([mean ± SD]) (15 ± 3 weeks) and late (35 ± 2 weeks) pregnancy. Lipidomic analysis was performed, and 698 species across 37 lipid classes were measured from plasma blood samples collected at early (15 ± 3 weeks) and mid (27 ± 3 weeks)-pregnancy. Clinical measures (BP, GDM diagnosis, weight) and blood samples were collected across pregnancy. Multiple linear and logistic regression models assessed associations of early pregnancy DQ with plasma lipids at early and mid-pregnancy, BP at three antenatal visits, GDM diagnosis and total GWG. RESULTS Maternal DQ scores ([mean ± SD]) decreased significantly from early (70.7 ± 11.4) to late pregnancy (66.5 ± 12.6) (p < 0.0005). At a false discovery rate of 0.2, early pregnancy DQ was significantly associated with 13 plasma lipids at mid-pregnancy, including negative associations with six triglycerides (TGs); TG(54:0)[NL-18:0] (neutral loss), TG(50:1)[NL-14:0], TG(48:0)[NL-18:0], TG(52:1)[NL-18:0], TG(54:1)[NL-18:1], TG(50:0)[NL-18:0]. No statistically significant associations were found between early pregnancy DQ and BP, GDM or GWG. CONCLUSION Maternal diet did not adhere to Australian Dietary Guidelines. Diet quality was inversely associated with multiple plasma TGs. This study provides novel insights into the relationship between DQ, lipid biomarkers and cardiometabolic health during pregnancy.

[PMID: 37964879 PMCID: PMC10641375 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1242939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims To investigate the biochemical correlation of hemoglobin (Hb), dyslipidemia, and HbA1c with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Background GDM is a condition that develops during pregnancy and is characterized by high blood sugar levels. Biochemical parameters such as hemoglobin (Hb), dyslipidemia, and HbA1c have been implicated in the development of GDM. Understanding the correlation between these biochemical parameters and GDM can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential diagnostic markers for the condition. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation of various biochemical parameters, including Hb, dyslipidemia, and HbA1c, in pregnant women with and without GDM. Method A cross-sectional study design was used. Pregnant females attending a tertiary care hospital in Faisalabad between September 1st, 2021, and June 25th, 2022, were included in the study. The participants were divided into two groups: those with GDM (GDM group) and those without GDM (non-GDM group). Blood glucose, Hb, and lipid levels were compared between the two groups using statistical tests, including chi-square, independent sample t-test, and Pearson's correlation. Result Out of the 500 participants, 261 were in the 2nd trimester and 239 in the 3rd trimester. Maternal age showed a significant difference between the GDM and non-GDM groups. The levels of Hb, TC, HDL, LDL, and HbA1c significantly differed (p < 0.05) between the two groups. TC (r = 0.397), TG (r = 0.290), and LDL (r = 0.509) showed a statistically significant and moderately positive correlation with GDM. HDL (r = -0.394) and Hb (r = -0.294) showed a moderate negative correlation with GDM. Conclusion Increased levels of HbA1c, TC, and LDL, along with decreased levels of HDL and Hb, were identified as contributing factors to GDM. The levels of TC, TG, and LDL were positively correlated with GDM, while HDL and Hb were negatively correlated. The findings of this study suggest that monitoring and managing hemoglobin, dyslipidemia, and HbA1c levels during pregnancy may be important in identifying and potentially preventing or managing GDM. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and potential interventions targeting these biochemical parameters in relation to GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although maternal triglyceride (TG) is important for fetal growth, there are few large cohort studies investigating the relationships between maternal TG during pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between maternal TG during the second and third trimesters and neonatal outcomes including preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA). METHODS This was a prospective birth cohort study using data of the Japan Environment and Children's Study included data of births from 2011-2014 in Japan including 79,519 pairs. Participants were divided into tertiles according to maternal TG in the second or third trimesters. Multiple logistic regression modeling was used to examine the risks of LBW, SGA, LGA and PTB in association with maternal TG levels in the second or third trimesters RESULTS: In the second trimester, compared with reference TG group (T2), women in higher TG group (T3) and lower TG group (T1) were also at increased risk of LGA (aOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.11-1.29) and SGA (aOR 1.25, 95% CI 1.10-1.41), respectively. In the third trimester, women in T3 and T1 were at increased risk of LGA (aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.17-1.38) and SGA (aOR 1.17, 95% CI 1.02-1.34), respectively. CONCLUSION In this study, higher maternal TG levels in the second or third trimesters were associated with risks of LGA, however, lower maternal TG levels in the second or third trimesters were conversely associated with risks of SGA.

Abstract
To examine the associations of sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors with cardiometabolic risk and each of its components during pregnancy in a pregnant population from Catalonia (Spain). A prospective cohort study of 265 healthy pregnant women (39 ± 5 years) in the first and third-trimesters. Sociodemographic, obstetric, anthropometric, lifestyle and dietary variables were collected, and blood samples were taken. The following cardiometabolic risk markers were evaluated: BMI, blood pressure, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL-cholesterol. From these, a cluster cardiometabolic risk (CCR)-z score was created by summating all z-scores (except insulin and DBP) computed for each risk factor. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis and multivariable linear regression. In the multivariable models, the first-trimester CCRs was positively associated with overweight/obesity status (β: 3.54, 95%CI: 2.73, 4.36) but inversely related to the level of education (β: -1.04, 95%CI: -1.94, 0.14) and physical activity (PA) (β: -1.21, 95%CI: -2.24, -0.17). The association between overweight/obesity and CCR (β:1.91, 95%CI: 1.01, 2.82) persisted into the third-trimester, whereas insufficient GWG (β: -1.14, 95%CI: -1.98, -0.30) and higher social class (β: -2.28, 95%CI: -3.42, -1.13) were significantly associated with a lower CCRs. Starting pregnancy with normal weight, higher socioeconomic and educational levels, being a non-smoker, non-consumer of alcohol, and PA were protective factors against cardiovascular risk during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Maternal serum and umbilical cord (UC) lipid and glucose levels are influenced by a variety of maternal factors over the course of pregnancy, including maternal physical activity (PA) levels and gestational weight gain (GWG). However, previous research has not assessed the interaction of these 2 variables. This study investigated mid-gestation (24-28 weeks) and late gestation (34-38 weeks) maternal and UC serum lipid and glucose profiles in relation to maternal PA status and GWG, independently and in combination. METHODS This study had a longitudinal design. Pregnant participants (n = 40) were categorized as active or inactive based on the 2019 Canadian Guideline for Physical Activity throughout Pregnancy, and GWG was categorized as insufficient, appropriate, or excessive based on 2009 Institute of Medicine recommendations. Fasting maternal serum was taken in mid- and late gestation, and venous UC serum was taken at birth. RESULTS No relationship was found between maternal serum values and PA and/or GWG. Infants born to individuals who were physically active across pregnancy, or who were active in mid-pregnancy and had their activity status drop in late gestation, had lower UC total cholesterol levels than those who were inactive throughout pregnancy (P < 0.0001). Participants who had gained weight appropriately at mid-gestation had significantly lower UC glucose levels than those who gained weight insufficiently (P = 0.040) or excessively (P = 0.021). CONCLUSION In our study, PA, and GWG (independently and in combination) may not have affected maternal serum; however, meeting PA recommendations at mid-gestation may provide prophylactic effects on UC serum, potentially providing long-term health benefits to the newborn.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is a common finding in overweight/obese pregnant women and is associated with increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcome. Both maternal vitamin D deficiency and maternal obesity contribute to metabolic derangements in pregnancy. We aimed to assess the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation in pregnancy versus placebo on maternal and fetal lipids. Main inclusion criteria were: women <20 weeks’ gestation, BMI ≥ 29 kg/m2. Eligible women (n = 154) were randomized to receive vitamin D3 (1600 IU/day) or placebo. Assessments were performed <20, 24−28 and 35−37 weeks and at birth. Linear regression models were used to assess effects of vitamin D on maternal and cord blood lipids. In the vitamin D group significantly higher total 25-OHD and 25-OHD3 levels were found in maternal and cord blood compared with placebo. Adjusted regression models did not reveal any differences in triglycerides, LDL-C, HDL-C, free fatty acids, ketone bodies or leptin between groups. Neonatal sum of skinfolds was comparable between the two groups, but correlated positively with cord blood 25-OH-D3 (r = 0.34, p = 0.012). Vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy increases maternal and cord blood vitamin D significantly resulting in high rates of vitamin D sufficiency. Maternal and cord blood lipid parameters were unaffected by Vitamin D3 supplementation.

Population-based plasma lipidomics reveals developmental changes in metabolism and signatures of obesity risk: a mother-offspring cohort study. BMC Med 2022; 20:242. [PMID: 35871677 PMCID: PMC9310480 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-022-02432-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipids play a vital role in health and disease, but changes to their circulating levels and the link with obesity remain poorly characterized in expecting mothers and their offspring in early childhood. METHODS LC-MS/MS-based quantitation of 480 lipid species was performed on 2491 plasma samples collected at 4 time points in the mother-offspring Asian cohort GUSTO (Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes). These 4 time points constituted samples collected from mothers at 26-28 weeks of gestation (n=752) and 4-5 years postpartum (n=650), and their offspring at birth (n=751) and 6 years of age (n=338). Linear regression models were used to identify the pregnancy and developmental age-specific variations in the plasma lipidomic profiles, and their association with obesity risk. An independent birth cohort (n=1935), the Barwon Infant Study (BIS), comprising mother-offspring dyads of Caucasian origin was used for validation. RESULTS Levels of 36% of the profiled lipids were significantly higher (absolute fold change > 1.5 and Padj < 0.05) in antenatal maternal circulation as compared to the postnatal phase, with phosphatidylethanolamine levels changing the most. Compared to antenatal maternal lipids, cord blood showed lower concentrations of most lipid species (79%) except lysophospholipids and acylcarnitines. Changes in lipid concentrations from birth to 6 years of age were much higher in magnitude (log2FC=-2.10 to 6.25) than the changes observed between a 6-year-old child and an adult (postnatal mother) (log2FC=-0.68 to 1.18). Associations of cord blood lipidomic profiles with birth weight displayed distinct trends compared to the lipidomic profiles associated with child BMI at 6 years. Comparison of the results between the child and adult BMI identified similarities in association with consistent trends (R2=0.75). However, large number of lipids were associated with BMI in adults (67%) compared to the children (29%). Pre-pregnancy BMI was specifically associated with decrease in the levels of phospholipids, sphingomyelin, and several triacylglycerol species in pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS In summary, our study provides a detailed landscape of the in utero lipid environment provided by the gestating mother to the growing fetus, and the magnitude of changes in plasma lipidomic profiles from birth to early childhood. We identified the effects of adiposity on the circulating lipid levels in pregnant and non-pregnant women as well as offspring at birth and at 6 years of age. Additionally, the pediatric vs maternal overlap of the circulating lipid phenotype of obesity risk provides intergenerational insights and early opportunities to track and intervene the onset of metabolic adversities. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION This birth cohort is a prospective observational study, which was registered on 1 July 2010 under the identifier NCT01174875 .

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2022; 107:e3134-e3144. [PMID: 35575245 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgac317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT The joint associations of maternal and fetal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of lipid metabolic genes with the risk of maternal supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia (MSPH) are unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the associations of maternal/fetal SNPs of APOE, LPL, LDLR, PCSK9, and SCARB1 with the risk of MSPH and explore whether the maternal-fetal pairing pattern of the risk alleles can affect MSPH risk. METHODS A nested case-control study was conducted that included 182 pregnant women with MSPH and 182 with maternal physiological hypercholesterolemia. Maternal venous and umbilical venous blood were collected to detect the SNPs of genes. The primary outcome was MSPH. Logistic regression model was used to determine the associations of SNPs with risk of MSPH. RESULTS The C-allele in maternal APOE rs429358 T > C (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.72, P = 0.033), G-allele in fetal APOE rs440446 C > G (adjusted OR = 1.62, P = 0.012) and T-allele in fetal LPL rs263 C > T (adjusted OR = 1.53, P = 0.011) increased the risk of MSPH. The A-allele in maternal LDLR rs7258950 G > A decreased the risk of MSPH (adjusted OR = 0.67, P = 0.028). For maternal-fetal pairing analysis, the variant concordance of PCSK9 rs2149041, rs7523141, rs7523242, rs7525649, and LDLR rs7258950 were associated with the decreased risk of MSPH under the dominant model. The variant concordance of other SNPs of PCSK9, APOE, LDLR, LPL, and SCARB1 were associated with the increased risk of MSPH. CONCLUSION This study supports the hypothesis that maternal and fetal genetic polymorphisms of lipid metabolic genes are associated with the risk of MSPH. The maternal-fetal variant concordance is also associated with this risk.

Lipids Health Dis 2022; 21:53.

Abstract
Background An excessive rise in maternal lipids during pregnancy may have detrimental impacts on maternal and fetal health leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, knowledge gaps exist with respect to the association between lipid biomarkers and birth outcomes. Methods We conducted a secondary data analysis of healthy pregnant women (N = 25) with mid-pregnancy fasting serum samples collected at 22–28 weeks of gestation and birth outcome data. Serum was analyzed for conventional lipid profile (total-C, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides) and lipoprotein subclass distribution, including particle number (nM) and size (nm), for very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)/chylomicron (CM), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Associations between maternal lipids and birth outcomes, including birth weight (g) and gestational age (weeks), were assessed using multivariable linear regression, adjusted for pre-pregnancy BMI. Results Although conventional lipids were not associated (p > 0.05) with birth outcomes, every 1-unit increment in large VLDL/CM particles (nM) and VLDL/CM size (nm) was associated with an increase in birth weight (confounder-adjusted β-coefficient, 45.80 g [5.30, 86.20, p = 0.003] and 24.90 g [8.80, 40.90, p = 0.002], respectively). Among the HDL subclass parameters, a 1-unit (nM) increase in the concentration of total HDL-particles was associated with a reduced birth weight (confounder adjusted β-coefficient, -19.40 g [95% confidence interval, -36.70, -2.20]; p = 0.03) after adjustment for maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. Conclusion The preliminary results of this pilot study suggest that total particle concentrations of VLDL/CM and HDL in mid-pregnancy have divergent associations with birth weight, potentially reflecting the specific roles of these lipoprotein particles with respect to placental function and fetal growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) are significant risk factors for maternal and neonatal health. AIM To assess pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG during pregnancy and their association with different maternal and neonatal characteristics in the transitional Mediterranean population from the Eastern Adriatic islands. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 262 mother-child dyads from the CRoatian Islands' Birth Cohort Study (CRIBS) were included in the study. Chi-square test, ANOVA and regression analysis were used to test the association between selected characteristics. RESULTS 22% of women entered pregnancy with overweight/obesity and 46.6% had excessive GWG. Pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity were significantly associated with elevated triglycerides uric acid levels, and decreased HDL cholesterol in pregnancy. Excessive GWG was associated with elevated fibrinogen and lipoprotein A levels. Women with high pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG values were more likely to give birth to babies that were large for gestational age (LGA), additionally confirmed in the multiple logistic regression model. CONCLUSION High maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and excessive GWG were both significantly associated with deviated biochemical parameters and neonatal size. More careful monitoring of maternal nutritional status can lead to better pre- and perinatal maternal health care.

The effect of a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet with or without exercise on postpartum weight retention, metabolic profile and physical activity performance in postpartum mice. J Nutr Biochem 2022; 102:108941.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE the present study examined the effect of the isocaloric low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) with or without exercise training for 6 weeks on postpartum weight retention (PPWR), body composition, metabolic profile and physical activity performance in postpartum mice. METHODS postpartum mice were assigned to 4 groups (n=8/group) as follows: (1) those on a control diet without aerobic exercise (CN); (2) those on a control diet with aerobic exercise (CN+EX), (3); those on a LCKD without aerobic exercise (LCKD); (4) those on a LCKD with aerobic exercise (LCKD+EX). CN+EX and LCKD+EX mice performed 6 weeks of exercise training on a treadmill. After the 6-week intervention, physical activity performance was determined. RESULTS postpartum mice in all groups experienced progressive reductions in body weight over the study period. The LCKD group had the smallest reduction in PPWR (p<0.05). The LCKD group had significantly higher total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lactate dehydrogenase levels, and liver lipid concentrations with a worsened glucose tolerance, compared to the CN group (p<0.05). The LCKD group showed significant reductions in physical activity performance, whilst the LCKD+EX group showed significantly improvement in endurance performance, and paralleled the concomitant elevation in blood ketone levels. CONCLUSIONS 6-week LCKD feeding on its own was less effective for reducing PPWR, and more detrimental to postpartum metabolic outcomes and physical activity performance of the postpartum mice. The feasibility of a LCKD with or without exercise during the postpartum period as a strategy for managing PPWR and improving postpartum metabolic profiles should be carefully considered.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic condition associated with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Here, we show that the offspring of obese mothers are dyslipidemic and insulin resistant from the outset.Maternal and cord blood and placental tissues were collected following C-section at term. Patients were grouped as being normal weight (NW, BMI = 18-24.9) or obese (OB, BMI ≥ 30), and separated by fetal sex. We measured plasma lipids, insulin, and glucose in maternal and cord blood. Insulin resistance was quantified using the HOMA-IR. Placental markers of lipid and energy metabolism and relevant metabolites were measured by western blot and metabolomics, respectively.For OB women, total cholesterol was decreased in both maternal and cord blood, while HDL was decreased only in cord blood, independent of sex. In babies born to OB women, cord blood insulin and insulin resistance were increased. Placental protein expression of the energy and lipid metabolism regulators PGC1α, and SIRT3, ERRα, CPT1α, and CPT2 decreased with maternal obesity in a sex-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Metabolomics showed lower levels of acylcarnitines C16:0, C18:2, and C20:4 in OB women's placentas, suggesting a decrease in β-oxidation. Glutamine, glutamate, alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG), and 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) were increased, and the glutamine-to-glutamate ratio decreased (P < 0.05), in OB placentas, suggesting induction of glutamate into αKG conversion to maintain a normal metabolic flux.Newly-born offspring of obese mothers begin their lives dyslipidemic and insulin resistant. If not inherited genetically, such major metabolic perturbations might be explained by abnormal placental metabolism with potential long-term adverse consequences for the offspring's health and wellbeing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pregnancy is associated with physiological alterations in insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism. This study investigates the associations between pregestational body mass index (pBMI) and the rate of gestational weight gain (rGWG) in the second trimester with the biomarkers of lipid, fatty acids metabolism and insulin resistance. METHODS Sixty nine pregnant women followed. The body weights of the pregnant women were measured and blood samples were obtained at 11-14th and 24-28th weeks of pregnancy. Glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, insulin levels and fatty acids were measured. Rate of GWG (kg/week) and The Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) were calculated. The pregnant women were stratified according to their pBMI and the 2nd trimester rGWG. RESULTS The rate of GWG was significantly higher for the group with pBMI<25, compared to the group with pBMI≥25 (p=0.024). Triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol were significantly increased in the second trimester compared with the first trimester. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, myristic acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (AA), total omega-6 (n - 6) and omega-3 (n - 3) fatty acid levels and n - 6/n - 3 ratio were significantly higher in the second trimester. Glucose was significantly decreased and insulin was increased in the second trimester. In the overweight/obese group; HOMA-IR, insulin, AA, palmitoleic acid and stearic acid were found to be high in comparison to the group with low/normal pBMI. No parameters were associated with rGWG. CONCLUSIONS The changes in lipid parameters, free fatty acids, insulin and HOMA-IR in the second trimester were compatible with the changes in lipid metabolism and the development of insulin resistance. Pregestational BMI was shown to have a stronger influence on lipid profile, insulin resistance, and fatty acids than rGWG.

Safety and Efficacy of Early High Parenteral Lipid Supplementation in Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13051535.

Abstract
The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize the effects of early initiation and achievement of a high dose of parenteral lipids (≥1.5 g/kg/day reached within the first 24 h of birth) on growth and adverse outcomes in preterm infants. PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were utilized to search for publications for this meta-analysis. Randomized controlled trials were eligible if data on growth or clinical outcome was available. The search returned nine studies. The mean proportion of postnatal weight loss (%) was lower (mean difference [MD]: −2.73; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −3.69, −1.78), and the mean head circumference near the term equivalent age (cm) was higher in the early high lipid treatment group (MD: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.25, 1.09). There was a favorable association of early high lipid administration with the incidence of extrauterine growth restriction (relative risk [RR]: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.48). Generally, there were no differences in morbidities or adverse outcomes with early high lipid administration. Early initiation of parenteral lipids and high dose achieved within the first 24 h of life appear to be safe and endurable and offer benefits in terms of growth.

Relationships between Maternal Dietary Patterns and Blood Lipid Levels during Pregnancy: A Prospective Cohort Study in Shanghai, China. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18073701.

Abstract
The relationships between maternal dietary patterns and blood lipid profile during pregnancy have not been well understood. We aimed to analyze the dietary patterns of pregnant women and their associations with blood lipid concentrations during pregnancy. A cohort of 1008 Chinese pregnant women were followed from 10-15 weeks of gestation to delivery. Their dietary patterns were identified using a principal component analysis. The relationships between dietary pattern score and maternal blood lipid concentrations were assessed using both multivariate linear regression models and generalized estimating equation (GEE) models. Five different dietary patterns were identified. GEE showed that a high score for the fish-shrimps pattern was associated with higher concentrations of total cholesterol (TC) (β = 0.11), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (β = 0.07), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (β = 0.03), with all p values < 0.001. In contrast, a high tubers-fruit-vegetables pattern score was associated with lower concentrations of TC (β = -0.12), LDL-C (β = -0.07), and HDL-C (β = -0.03), with all p values < 0.001. In addition, dietary protein, carbohydrate, and cholesterol intake significantly contributed to the associations between the fish-shrimps dietary pattern and blood lipid concentrations. Predominant seafood consumption is associated with higher cholesterol concentrations, whereas predominant tuber, fruit, and vegetable consumptions are associated with lower cholesterol concentrations during pregnancy.

Maternal Serum Angiopoietin-Like 3 Levels in Healthy and Mild Preeclamptic Pregnant Women. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2021; 12:670357. [PMID: 33927698 PMCID: PMC8077029 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2021.670357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Angiopoietin-like protein 3(ANGPTL3) is an important regulator of lipoprotein metabolism in the fed state by inhibiting the enzyme lipoprotein lipase in oxidative tissues. However, the possible role of ANGPTL3 throughout gestation and its relationship with hormonal and biochemical variables are still unknown. The aim of this study was to determinate serum ANGPTL3 level in healthy non-pregnant women, during healthy and preeclamptic pregnancy and postpartum. METHODS Serum ANGPTL3 was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), in a prospective cohort of healthy pregnant women (n = 52) and women with mild preeclampsia (n = 21), and women at three months postpartum (n = 20) and healthy non-pregnant women (n = 20). The results obtained were correlated with biochemical, hormonal and anthropometric variables and insulin resistance indices. RESULTS Levels of ANGPTL3 were not different between the follicular and the luteal phases of the cycle in healthy non-pregnant women. There was a significant reduction in serum ANGPTL3 levels from the first to the third trimester in healthy pregnant women compared with healthy non-pregnant and postpartum women (p <0.01). ANGPTL3 levels do not differ significantly during the three trimesters of pregnancy neither in healthy women nor in preeclamptic women. The serum levels of ANGPTL3 in women who developed preeclampsia are not statistically different from those observed in healthy pregnant women in each trimester of pregnancy. A significant lineal positive correlation was observed between serum ANGPTL3 levels and triglyceride (P =0.0186, r =0.52), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P =0.0224, r =0.50), and total cholesterol levels (P =0.0220, r =0.50) in healthy non-pregnant women (P 0.05). Besides, there were no significant correlations between serum ANGPTL3 and body mass index (BMI), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, insulin, leptin, or HOMA-IR (P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS We describe for the first time the profile of ANGPTL3 throughout pregnancy and postpartum as well as and discussed about explore their potential contribution interactions with lipoprotein metabolism throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Thus, low levels of ANGPTL3 during pregnancy might favor lipid uptake in oxidative tissues as the main maternal energy source, while may helping to preserve glucose for use by the fetus and placenta.

Impact of Maternal Obesity on the Metabolism and Bioavailability of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding. Nutrients 2020; 13:nu13010019. [PMID: 33374585 PMCID: PMC7822469 DOI: 10.3390/nu13010019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Prenatal and postnatal development are closely related to healthy maternal conditions that allow for the provision of all nutritional requirements to the offspring. In this regard, an appropriate supply of fatty acids (FA), mainly n-3 and n-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), is crucial to ensure a normal development, because they are an integral part of cell membranes and participate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules that regulate multiple signaling pathways. On the other hand, maternal obesity and excessive gestational weight gain affect FA supply to the fetus and neonate, altering placental nutrient transfer, as well as the production and composition of breast milk during lactation. In this regard, maternal obesity modifies FA profile, resulting in low n-3 and elevated n-6 PUFA levels in maternal and fetal circulation during pregnancy, as well as in breast milk during lactation. These modifications are associated with a pro-inflammatory state and oxidative stress with short and long-term consequences in different organs of the fetus and neonate, including in the liver, brain, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. Altogether, these changes confer to the offspring a higher risk of developing obesity and its complications, as well as neuropsychiatric disorders, asthma, and cancer. Considering the consequences of an abnormal FA supply to offspring induced by maternal obesity, we aimed to review the effects of obesity on the metabolism and bioavailability of FA during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with an emphasis on LCPUFA homeostasis.

Mediating Effects of Maternal Blood Triglycerides on the Relationship between Prepregnancy Body Mass Index and Fetal Macrosomia. J Pediatr 2020; 226:118-122.e1. [PMID: 32645404 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2020.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2020] [Revised: 06/27/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether the association of prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) with fetal macrosomia is mediated through maternal circulating lipid concentrations during pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective cohort, 3011 eligible pregnant women were enrolled. Information on demographic characteristics were collected using questionnaires, and anthropometrics and laboratory tests were performed at 24 weeks of gestation and before delivery. Macrosomia was defined as birth weight ≥4000 g. Logistic regression and multivariable linear regression, adjusted for age, fetal sex, education, gestational weight gain, fasting blood glucose, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, gestational age at delivery, delivery mode, and parity, were used to assess the mediation path between prepregnancy BMI, maternal serum lipids, and fetal macrosomia. RESULTS A total of 2454 participants with completed records were included in the final analyses. Among the maternal circulating lipid biomarkers, only triglyceride was significantly associated with both prepregnancy BMI and fetal macrosomia risk, adjusting for potential confounders. Mediation analyses demonstrated that the direct effect of prepregnancy BMI on fetal macrosomia was 0.0085 (95% CI, 0.0003-0.018; P < .05), the indirect effect mediated through maternal serum triglycerides was 0.0016 (95% CI, 0.0007-0.0029; P < .001), and the estimated proportion of mediated effect was 15.7% (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Maternal circulating triglycerides mediate the association of prepregnancy BMI with the risk of fetal macrosomia.

Abstract
Background: Circulating into foetal circulation across the placental barrier, abnormal maternal serum lipids predispose neonates to metabolic dysfunction and thereafter affect the steroid metabolism and functions of extra-embryonic foetal tissues. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed-MEDLINE and the Cochrane library between January 2010 and January 2020. The included studies were English case control studies that described original data on at least one raw lipid measurement during pregnancy in healthy women who delivered large for gestational age (LGA) newborns and in healthy women with non-LGA newborns. The data extracted from 12 studies were pooled, and the weighted mean difference (WMD) in lipid levels was calculated using random effects models. A meta-analysis was performed to identify sources of heterogeneity and to describe the significant value of the collected studies. Results: Of 649 published articles identified, a total of 12 met the inclusion criteria . Compared with women who had non-LGA newborns, those who had LGA newborns had significantly higher triglyceride (TG) levels (WMD = 0.28, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.54) and lower high density lipoprotein cholestrol (HDL-C) levels (WMD = 0.08, 95% CI -0.13 to -0.03), but not have significantly lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Moreover, the levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) were inconsistent between both groups. Conclusions: High levels of TG and low levels of HDL-C could cause births of LGA newborns whereas maternal serum of TC, LDL-C and VLDL-C cannot be used as predictor of LGA.

Placental function in maternal obesity. Clin Sci (Lond) 2020; 134:961-984.

Abstract
Maternal obesity is associated with pregnancy complications and increases the risk for the infant to develop obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life. However, the mechanisms linking the maternal obesogenic environment to adverse short- and long-term outcomes remain poorly understood. As compared with pregnant women with normal BMI, women entering pregnancy obese have more pronounced insulin resistance, higher circulating plasma insulin, leptin, IGF-1, lipids and possibly proinflammatory cytokines and lower plasma adiponectin. Importantly, the changes in maternal levels of nutrients, growth factors and hormones in maternal obesity modulate placental function. For example, high insulin, leptin, IGF-1 and low adiponectin in obese pregnant women activate mTOR signaling in the placenta, promoting protein synthesis, mitochondrial function and nutrient transport. These changes are believed to increase fetal nutrient supply and contribute to fetal overgrowth and/or adiposity in offspring, which increases the risk to develop disease later in life. However, the majority of obese women give birth to normal weight infants and these pregnancies are also associated with activation of inflammatory signaling pathways, oxidative stress, decreased oxidative phosphorylation and lipid accumulation in the placenta. Recent bioinformatics approaches have expanded our understanding of how maternal obesity affects the placenta; however, the link between changes in placental function and adverse outcomes in obese women giving birth to normal sized infants is unclear. Interventions that specifically target placental function, such as activation of placental adiponectin receptors, may prevent the transmission of metabolic disease from obese women to the next generation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal obesity is increasing worldwide but the consequences for maternal physiology and fetal growth are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE To study whether changes in glucose and lipid metabolism during pregnancy differ between women with normal weight and overweight/obesity, and investigate which of these metabolic factors are associated with birthweight. DESIGN Prospective, longitudinal study. SETTING Department of Obstetrics, Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet. POPULATION 1031 healthy pregnant women with singleton pregnancies. METHODS Blood samples from early and late pregnancy were analyzed for fasting glucose, insulin and lipids (total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides). Associations between metabolic factors and birthweight (z-scores) were explored by linear regression models. Main Outcome Measures: Group-dependent longitudinal changes in glucose and lipids and their association with birthweight (z-scores). RESULTS Compared to women with normal weight (BMI < 25), women with overweight (BMI 25-29.9) and obesity (BMI > 30) had significantly higher fasting glucose (4.54, 4.68 and 4.84 mmol/l), insulin (23, 33 and 50 pmol/l), total cholesterol (4.85, 4.99 and 5.14 mmol/l), LDL-C (2.49, 2.66 and 2.88 mmol/l) and triglycerides (1.10, 1.28 and 1.57 mmol/l), but lower HDL-C (1.86, 1.75 and 1.55 mmol/l). BMI (B 0.05, 95% CI 0.03-0.06, p<0.001), gestational weight gain (GWG) (B 0.06, 0.05-0.08, p<0.001) and an increase in fasting glucose (B 0.30, 0.16-0.43, p<0.001) were positively associated with birthweight, whereas a decrease in HDL-C (B -0.72, -0.96- -0.53, p<0.001) had a negative association with birthweight. CONCLUSIONS Overweight/obesity was associated with an unfavorable metabolic profile in early pregnancy which was associated with increased birthweight. However, modifiable factors like gestational weight gain and an increase in fasting glucose were identified and can be targeted for interventions.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes of females with severe preeclampsia according to their pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). Data from 233 patients with severe preeclampsia were reviewed from the Inpatient Obstetrics Department. The data were divided into 3 groups according to the patients' pre-pregnancy BMI: Normal (BMI of 18-25 kg/m2; n=134); underweight (BMI <18 kg/m2; n=15); and overweight and obese (BMI >25 kg/m2; n=84). The incidence of dyslipidemia, amniotic fluid abnormalities and neonatal hospitalizations in the group of females who were overweight or obese before pregnancy were higher than those in the other groups (all P<0.05). In conclusion, the presence of dyslipidemia, excessive weight and obesity prior to pregnancy in patients with severe preeclampsia was associated with maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Abstract
Background Sub-optimal maternal lipid levels during pregnancy may be implicated in the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to low birth weight (LBW) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA). We aimed to determine whether maternal lipid levels across pregnancy were associated with birth weight and the risks of LBW and SGA in rural Gambia. Methods This secondary analysis of the ENID trial involved 573 pregnant women with term deliveries. Plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and triglycerides (TG) were analyzed at enrolment (mean (SD) = 13.9 (3.3) weeks gestation), 20 and 30 weeks gestation as continuous variables and percentile groups. Regression models with adjustment for confounders were used to examine associations between gestational lipid levels and birth weight and the risks of LBW (birth weight < 2500 g) and SGA (<10th percentile INTERGROWTH-21ST for birth weight). Results There were 7.9% LBW and 32.5% SGA infants. At enrolment, every unit increase in HDL-c was associated with a 2.7% (P = 0.011) reduction in relative risk of LBW. At 20 weeks gestation, every unit increase in TC levels was associated with a 1.3% reduction in relative risk of LBW (P = 0.002). Low (<10th percentile) HDL-c at enrolment or at 20 weeks gestation was associated with a 2.6 (P = 0.007) and 3.0 (P = 0.003) times greater risk of LBW, respectively, compared with referent (10th─90th) HDL-c. High (>90th percentile) LDL-c at 30 weeks gestation was associated with a 55% lower risk of SGA compared with referent LDL-c (P = 0.017). Increased levels of TC (β = 1.3, P = 0.027) at 20 weeks gestation and of TC (β = 1.2, P = 0.006) and LDL-c (β = 1.5, P = 0.002) at 30 weeks gestation were all associated with higher birth weight. Conclusions In rural Gambia, lipid levels during pregnancy were associated with infant birth weight and the risks of LBW and SGA. Associations varied by lipid class and changed across pregnancy, indicating an adaptive process by which maternal lipids may influence fetal growth and birth outcomes. Trial registration This trial was registered as ISRCTN49285450 on: 12/11/2009.

Abstract
: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) associates with fetal endothelial dysfunction (ED), which occurs independently of adequate glycemic control. Scarce information exists about the impact of different GDM therapeutic schemes on maternal dyslipidemia and obesity and their contribution to the development of fetal-ED. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of GDM-treatments on lipid levels in nonobese (N) and obese (O) pregnant women and the effect of maternal cholesterol levels in GDM-associated ED in the umbilical vein (UV). O-GDM women treated with diet showed decreased total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) levels with respect to N-GDM ones. Moreover, O-GDM women treated with diet in addition to insulin showed higher TC and LDL levels than N-GDM women. The maximum relaxation to calcitonin gene-related peptide of the UV rings was lower in the N-GDM group compared to the N one, and increased maternal levels of TC were associated with even lower dilation in the N-GDM group. We conclude that GDM-treatments modulate the TC and LDL levels depending on maternal weight. Additionally, increased TC levels worsen the GDM-associated ED of UV rings. This study suggests that it could be relevant to consider a specific GDM-treatment according to weight in order to prevent fetal-ED, as well as to consider the possible effects of maternal lipids during pregnancy.

Abstract
The intrauterine environment can have a significant impact on fetal and maternal well-being, both during pregnancy and in later life. We aimed to identify how fetal sex and maternal body mass index (BMI) influence insulin resistance and metabolic function during pregnancy with maternal BMI > 25 kg/m2. This secondary analysis assessed data from the PEARS-randomized controlled trial that recruited pregnant women with body mass indexes 25-39.9 kg/m2. Longitudinal measurements of maternal and fetal insulin resistance and metabolic function were recorded throughout pregnancy. Regression models tested the effects of fetal sex and maternal BMI on markers of metabolic function and insulin regulation. A total of 484 women and their newborns (252 (52%) males vs. 232 (48%) females) were included in the analysis. A total of 333 (69%) women were overweight and 151 (31%) were obese. Male newborns were heavier and larger than females, and had a higher rate of instrumental delivery. Males had a lower LDL, but no other markers of insulin resistance or metabolic function were affected by fetal sex. Women with obesity had elevated markers of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction compared with women that were overweight, but maternal BMI did not impact these variables in the fetus. Fetal sex did not impact maternal and fetal metabolic parameters in women with BMI > 25 kg/m2. However, a higher BMI caused increasingly deranged maternal blood lipid concentrations and markers of insulin resistance as pregnancy progressed. Lipid monitoring and interventions to reduce lipids during pregnancy therefore require further evaluation.

Abstract
Maternal hypercholesterolemia (MHC) is a pathological condition characterized by an exaggerated rise in maternal serum cholesterol during gestation, which can alter offspring hepatic lipid metabolism. However, the extent that these maladaptations occur during gestation and the molecular mechanisms involved remain unknown. MicoRNAs (miRNA) are small, noncoding RNAs that contribute to the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Therefore, we sought to determine the degree to which in utero exposure to excessive cholesterol affects fetal hepatic lipid metabolism and miRNA expression. Twelve female apoE-/- mice were randomly assigned to two different chow-based diets throughout gestation: control (CON) or the CON diet with cholesterol (0.15%). MHC reduced maternal fecundity and reduced litter size and weight. On gestational day 18, fetuses from MHC dams possessed increased placental cholesterol and hepatic triglycerides (TG), which were accompanied by a downregulation in the expression of hepatic lipogenic and TG synthesis and transport genes. Furthermore, fetal livers from MHC mothers showed increased miRNA-27a and reduced miRNA-200c expression. In summary, in utero exposure to MHC alters fetal lipid metabolism and lends mechanistic insight that implicates early changes in miRNA expression that may link to later-life programming of disease risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fetal growth, an important predictor of cardiometabolic diseases in adults, is influenced by maternal and fetal genetic and environmental factors. OBJECTIVE We investigated the association between maternal lipid genetic risk score (GRS) and fetal growth among 4 US racial-ethnic populations (Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians). METHODS We extracted genotype data for 2008 pregnant women recruited in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Fetal Growth Studies-Singleton cohort with up to 6 standardized ultrasound examinations. GRS was calculated using 240 single-nucleotide polymorphisms previously associated with higher total cholesterol (GRSTChol), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (GRSLDLc), and triglycerides (GRSTG) and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (GRSHDLc). RESULTS At 40 weeks' gestation, a unit increase in GRSTG was associated with 11.4 g higher fetal weight (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.8-20.0 g) among normal-weight Whites, 26.3 g (95% CI 6.0-46.6 g) among obese Blacks, and 30.8 g (95% CI 6.3-55.3 g) among obese Hispanics. Higher GRSHDLc was associated with increased fetal weight across 36 to 40 weeks among normal-weight Whites and across 13 to 20 weeks among normal-weight Asians, but with decreased fetal weight across 26 to 40 weeks among normal-weight Hispanics. Higher GRSTChol was suggestively associated with increased fetal weight in males and decreased in females. Associations remained consistent after adjustment for serum lipids. CONCLUSION Associations between fetal weight and maternal lipid GRS appear to vary by maternal race-ethnic group, obesity status, and offspring sex. Genetic susceptibility to unfavorable lipid profiles contributes to fetal growth differences even among normal-weight women suggesting a potential future application in predicting aberrant fetal growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In our randomized controlled trial, we investigated the impact of healthy eating (HE) aiming for restricted gestational weight gain (GWG) and physical activity (PA) interventions on maternal and neonatal lipid metabolism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Obese pregnant women (n = 436) were included before 20 weeks' gestation and underwent glucose testing (oral glucose tolerance test) and lipid profiling at baseline and 24-28 and 35-37 gestational weeks after an at least 10-h overnight fast. This secondary analysis had a factorial design with comparison of HE (n = 221) versus no HE (n = 215) and PA (n = 218) versus no PA (n = 218). Maternal changes in triglycerides (TG), LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, free fatty acids (FFAs), and leptin from baseline to end of pregnancy and neonatal outcomes were analyzed using general linear models with adjustment for relevant parameters. RESULTS At 24-28 weeks' gestation, FFAs (mean ± SD, 0.60 ± 0.19 vs. 0.55 ± 0.17 mmol/L, P < 0.01) were increased after adjustment for FFA at baseline, maternal age, BMI at time of examination, gestational week, insulin resistance, self-reported food intake, self-reported physical activity, and maternal smoking, and GWG was lower (3.3 ± 2.6 vs. 4.3 ± 2.8 kg, P < 0.001, adjusted mean differences -1.0 [95% CI -1.5; -0.5]) in HE versus no HE. Fasting glucose levels (4.7 ± 0.4 vs. 4.6 ± 0.4 mmol/L, P < 0.05) and 3-β-hydroxybutyrate (3BHB) (0.082 ± 0.065 vs. 0.068 ± 0.067 mmol/L, P < 0.05) were higher in HE. Significant negative associations between carbohydrate intake and FFA, 3BHB, and fasting glucose at 24-28 weeks' gestation were observed. No differences between groups were found in oral glucose tolerance test or leptin or TG levels at any time. Furthermore, in PA versus no PA, no similar changes were found. In cord blood, elevated FFA levels were found in HE after full adjustment (0.34 ± 0.22 vs. 0.29 ± 0.16 mmol/L, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS HE intervention was associated with reduced GWG, higher FFAs, higher 3BHB, and higher fasting glucose at 24-28 weeks of gestation, suggesting induction of lipolysis. Increased FFA was negatively associated with carbohydrate intake and was also observed in cord blood. These findings support the hypothesis that maternal antenatal dietary restriction including carbohydrates is associated with increased FFA mobilization.

A simple model to predict risk of gestational diabetes mellitus from 8 to 20 weeks of gestation in Chinese women. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2019; 19:252.

Abstract
Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Screening for GDM and applying adequate interventions may reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. However, the diagnosis of GDM depends largely on tests performed in late second trimester. The aim of the present study was to bulid a simple model to predict GDM in early pregnancy in Chinese women using biochemical markers and machine learning algorithm. Methods Data on a total of 4771 pregnant women in early gestation were used to fit the GDM risk-prediction model. Predictive maternal factors were selected through Bayesian adaptive sampling. Selected maternal factors were incorporated into a multivariate Bayesian logistic regression using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to assess discrimination. Results The prevalence of GDM was 12.8%. From 8th to 20th week of gestation fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels decreased slightly and triglyceride (TG) levels increased slightly. These levels were correlated with those of other lipid metabolites. The risk of GDM could be predicted with maternal age, prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), FPG and TG with a predictive accuracy of 0.64 and an AUC of 0.766 (95% CI 0.731, 0.801). Conclusions This GDM prediction model is simple and potentially applicable in Chinese women. Further validation is necessary.

Abstract
AIM While serum fructosamine may be a good marker of glucose control in pregnant women with diabetes, its relationship with macrosomia is still uncertain. METHODS In 130 hyperglycaemic women with singleton pregnancies (117 gestational diabetes mellitus, 13 pregestational diabetes), serum fructosamine and HbA1c levels were measured at 25±7 weeks of gestation. Levels in mothers of infants with and without macrosomic newborns (birth weight>4000g and/or large-for-gestational-age birth weight>90th percentile) were compared using logistic regression analysis adjusted for macrosomia risk factors. RESULTS These 130 pregnant women were 33±5 years old; their BMI before pregnancy was 27.7±6.9kg/m2, and they gained 7.5±5.1kg during the first 6 months of gestation. Glucose control was good according to HbA1c levels (5.3±0.3%; 34±2mmol/mol), yet 17/130 (13%) newborns had macrosomia: 3900±227g vs 3057±512g (P<0.001) in the others. These mothers were older and had higher parity, whereas their BMI scores before pregnancy and gestational weight gains did not differ. Fructosamine levels were also higher at 221±40μmol/L vs 192±22μmol/l (P<0.001), respectively, and remained significant even after adjusting for maternal age, BMI, parity, type of diabetes, antecedents of macrosomia and excessive gestational weight gain. By contrast, HbA1c did not differ between the two groups. In fact, nearly two-thirds (64.7%) of the mothers of macrosomic newborns had fructosamine levels>200μmol/l vs 31.9% of mothers with non-macrosomic newborns (P<0.05). CONCLUSION High fructosamine levels are associated with macrosomia in the newborns of well-controlled hyperglycaemic pregnant women.

Abstract
Vitamin D status correct monitoring during pregnancy is critically important for both maternal and fetal health. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) - a prohormone of a biologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), despite the lack of biological activity, during the past decades has been routinely used as a main biomarker characterizing vitamin D status. About 85% of 25(OH)D in the bloodstream is bound to its specific carrier - vitamin D-binding protein (DBP), the remaining 15% are loosely bound to albumin, and only less than 0.1% are free in the circulation ("free 25(OH)D"). Total 25(OH)D is the sum of DBP-bound, albumin-bound and free 25(OH)D. According to a "free hormone hypothesis", only free 25(OH)D is able to induce a biological effect. Normal pregnancy is characterized by elevated serum DBP levels, and due to this fact the diagnostic strength of serum total 25(OH)D has been questioned. Free 25(OH)D might be a better characteristic of vitamin D status in this settings. We aimed to compare the diagnostic strength of a routine total 25(OH)D with directly measured free 25(OH)D in normal pregnancy by comparing the association strength between free and total 25(OH)D with biomarkers of bone health (PTH, calcium, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP)), lipid metabolism (adiponectin, LDL, HDL), kidney function (urea), endocrine parameters (T4, T3, TSH), and group B water-soluble vitamins. The study was conducted in 368 healthy white pregnant women - residents of north-east Germany. Free 25(OH)D showed an overall better associations with gestational age, markers of bone metabolism (calcium (rho = 0.141, p = 0.007 with free 25(OH)D; rho = 0.060, p = 0.251 with total 25(OH)D) and BSAP (rho = -0.203, p < 0.001 with free 25(OH)D; rho = -0.108, p = 0.038 with total 25(OH)D), lipid metabolism parameters (adiponectin (rho = 0.142, p = 0.008 with free 25(OH)D; rho = 0.054, p = 0.307 with total 25(OH)D), LDL cholesterol (rho = -0.191, p < 0.001 with free 25(OH)D; rho = 0.033, p = 0.539 with total 25(OH)D)) and a kidney function marker (urea (rho = 0.114, p = 0.032 with free 25(OH)D; rho = 0.008, p = 0.887 with total 25(OH)D)) than total 25(OH)D. In conclusion, the current study revealed that free 25(OH)D is a more precise determinant of the vitamin D status during normal human pregnancy than total 25(OH)D. In the settings of normal pregnancy, free 25(OH)D revealed better associations with markers of bone metabolism (calcium, BSAP), lipid metabolism (adiponectin, LDL cholesterol, LDL/HDL ratio) and kidney function (urea) than total 25(OH)D.

Placenta 2018; 69:146-152. [PMID: 29699712 DOI: 10.1016/j.placenta.2018.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2018] [Revised: 03/08/2018] [Accepted: 04/09/2018] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Metabolic-related diseases are attributed to a sedentary lifestyle and eating habits, and there is now an increased awareness regarding pregnancy as a preponderant window in the programming of adulthood health and disease. The developing foetus is susceptible to the maternal environment; hence, any unfavourable condition will result in foetal physiological adaptations that could have a permanent impact on its health. Some of these alterations are maintained via epigenetic modifications capable of modifying gene expression in metabolism-related genes. Children born to mothers with dyslipidaemia, pregestational or gestational obesity, and gestational diabetes mellitus, have a predisposition to develop metabolic alterations during adulthood. CpG methylation-associated alterations to the expression of several genes in the human placenta play a crucial role in the mother-to-foetus transfer of nutrients and macromolecules. Identification of epigenetic modifications in metabolism-related tissues of offspring from metabolic-altered pregnancies is essential to obtain insights into foetal programming controlling newborn, childhood, and adult metabolism. This review points out the importance of the foetal milieu in the programming and development of human disease and provides evidence of this being the underlying mechanism for the development of adulthood metabolic disorders in maternal dyslipidaemia, pregestational or gestational obesity, and gestational diabetes mellitus.
