Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between anthropometric, biochemical, and hematologic parameters and serum leptin and homocysteine (Hcy) levels. Also, to determine the effect of leptin and Hcy on expression of genes associated with cardiovascular disease susceptibility (APOA1, LRP1, COX‐1, and COX‐2) in mononuclear cells of healthy pregnant women.MethodsBetween August 2018 and January 2020, a cross‐sectional study was conducted on 161 healthy pregnant women in Tabasco, southeastern Mexico.
