TY - JOUR T1 - Lower placental weight is associated with raised cord serum insulin concentrations at birth JF - Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition JO - Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed SP - F94 LP - F94 DO - 10.1136/adc.2004.064089 VL - 90 IS - 1 AU - M Rodríguez-Morán AU - F Guerrero-Romero AU - M Levario-Carrillo Y1 - 2005/01/01 UR - http://fn.bmj.com/content/90/1/F94.abstract N2 - A growing body of evidence suggests that the malnourished fetus may develop peripheral insulin resistance1 and that low birth weight is a risk factor for metabolic and cardiovascular disease in adulthood.2,3 As intrauterine nutrition and fetal growth depends on the placenta, we hypothesise that low weight placenta may be linked to the increase in serum insulin concentration in small for gestational age (SGA) term newborn infants. We compared 20 SGA babies with 40 of appropriate size for gestational age (AGA) in a cross … ER -
