Impact of Cord Blood Adiponectin and Leptin Levels and Maternal Obesity on Birth Weight of Infants Born to Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Conclusion: The infant’s birth weight is closely associated with cord blood levels of both leptin and adiponectin and with pregravid and prepartum maternal obesity. The 1-year weight of infants born to GDM mothers is only associated with levels of adiponectin in cord blood. PMID: 30230791 [PubMed - in process]
