Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to investigate the lipid profiles in early 2nd trimester amniotic fluid of healthy normal-weight mothers who have either large-for-gestational age (LGA) or appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) infants, while also examining the relationship between lipid profiles and insulin/glucose levels.
- - Researchers analyzed bio-banked amniotic fluid samples using advanced mass spectrometry techniques, comparing 15 LGA infants to 15 AGA infants and identified significant differences, including higher levels of specific phosphatidic acid species in LGA samples.
- - The results suggest that even in healthy normal-weight mothers, there are early signs of disrupted lipid metabolism when carrying LGA infants, with no correlation found
