Adipose Tissue Mediates Associations of Birth Weight with Glucose Metabolism Disorders in Children

Abstract: Objective This study aimed to examine the associations between low birth weight (LBW) versus high birth weight (HBW) and dysglycemia, including insulin resistance (IR) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in children, and aimed to explore the role of adipose tissue in these relationships. Methods A total of 2,935 subjects aged 6 to 18 years were recruited to examine the relationship between birth weight and IR (defined as homeostasis model assessment of IR > 2.3) and IFG. Mediation analyses were conducted to exa… Show more

“…The increase in childhood obesity worldwide is recognized as one of the most severe public health problems. The evidence of the association between childhood obesity and parameters of MetS is increasing (7,16,17). Adipocytokines and genetic background are known to be important in the pathogenesis of MetS (18,19).…”

“…Limited prospective studies have investigated the mediating effects of birth weight on incident T2D risk through insulin resistance, sex hormonebinding globulin, E-selectin, systolic blood pressure, and adiponectin. 9,10 Our study is the first, to our knowledge, to assess simultaneously associations of birth weight with multiple lipoproteins, lipids, amino acids, and FA and the role of these metabolites in potentially mediating the association between birth weight and T2D.…”

“…The increase in obesity, especially adolescent obesity, is considered to be a serious public health problem. More and more evidence shows that there is an important relationship between obesity and MetS ( 25 , 26 ). Genetic background and environmental factors such as diet play a crucial role in the effluence of MetS.…”
