Relationship of maternal grain intake and serum triglyceride levels with infant birth weight: Mothers and Children’s Environmental Health (MOCEH) study

Abstract

The relationship between maternal TG levels and infant birth weight may depend on dietary grain intake and stages of pregnancy in Korean pregnant women.

Gestational dyslipidaemia and adverse birthweight outcomes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…For HDL‐C, both studies reporting in T1, 6 out of 11 studies reporting in T2 and 11 out of 18 studies reporting in T3 showed an inverse association with birthweight, while 1 in T2 and 1 in T3 reported a positive association. For TG, 4 out of 5 studies reporting in T1, 10 out of 12 studies reporting in T2 and 20 out of 27 studies reporting in T3 found a positive association with birthweight, while 3 studies in T3 reported an inverse association. Of the seven studies reporting the association between maternal FFAs level in T3 and birthweight , four reported a positive association , while none reported inverse association.…”

“…Of the 13,705 unique records identified by the searches, 46 publications reporting from 42 studies were included in the review (Fig. ).…”

“…The number of pregnancies ranged from 38 to 5,535. On the basis of the World Bank Income Classification of countries , 25 out of 42 studies were from high‐income economies , 16 from upper‐middle‐income economies and 1 from middle‐income economies . Forty studies were prospective cohorts , three were retrospective cohorts and three were secondary analyses of cohorts in RCTs .…”

“…Forty‐five publications (excluding the abstract ) were assessed for methodological quality. Ten, 21 and 14 studies were assessed as methodologically high , moderate and low quality , respectively (Appendix S6). Three (7%) of 45 included studies had low risk for study selection while 40 (93%) had medium risk.…”

Maternal High-Fat Feeding Increases Placental Lipoprotein Lipase Activity by Reducing SIRT1 Expression in Mice

“…Similar to other rodent studies ( 27 – 30 ), HF feeding even slightly reduced fetal body weight in the present study. Human studies have demonstrated that maternal blood TG levels correlate with fetal growth ( 45 – 47 ). Therefore, we speculate that decreased maternal blood TGs may underpin the decreased fetal growth in HF-fed rodents ( 27 – 30 ).…”
