Background: Conventional clear infant feeding bottles provide visual cues about the amount of milk consumed, which may decrease caregivers' sensitivity to infant cues, increase infant intake, and lead to greater infant weight gain.
Objective: This study examined feasibility, adherence, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of an intervention in which families received clear vs opaque bottles.
Design: A pilot feasibility randomized controlled trial was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) affects both mothers and infants, and metabolomic analysis during pregnancy can help understand its development.
- This study compared plasma samples from 40 overweight/obese pregnant women, with 20 diagnosed with GDM and 20 without, across their first and third trimesters.
- Significant metabolic differences were found, including changes in medium-chain acylcarnitines and elevated levels of hypoxanthine, highlighting altered metabolic pathways related to fatty acid oxidation and purine degradation in GDM-affected pregnancies.
Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly increases maternal and fetal health risks, but factors predictive of GDM are poorly understood.
Objectives: Plasma metabolomics analyses were conducted in early pregnancy to identify potential metabolites associated with prediction of GDM.
Methods: Sixty-eight pregnant women with overweight/obesity from a clinical trial of a lifestyle intervention were included.
