Fetal Metabolic Programming in Obesity and Diabetes: From Mechanisms to Preventive Therapy

Fetal Metabolic Programming in Obesity and Diabetes: From Mechanisms to Preventive Therapy describes the consequences of cellular and molecular aspects of maternal obesity (before and during pregnancy), diabetes mellitus (pregestational and gestational), and gestational diabesity (i.e. women with pre-pregnancy obesity that developed GDM). The book covers clinical aspects of the mothers and children and protocols for treating these diseases during pregnancy. Since the patients' clinical information correlates with metabolic parameters at a cellular and systemic level, it covers several pieces of evidence addressing the pathophysiology of obesity and diabetes in pregnancy. This is an important resource for health professionals, researchers and postdocs in obesity, diabetes as well as public health, physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, cell physiology, cell metabolism, clinical medicine. Include definitions and clinical and basic science concepts of obesity and diabetes;Presents approaches to new technologies and protocols to treat patientsDescribes the concept of programming human diseases and measures that need to be taken now and for future generationsIncludes information on Metabolic foetal programming in obesity and diabetes INDICE: 1.
