Fetal Metabolic Programming in Obesity and Diabetes - (Hot Topics in Physiology) by Luis Sobrevia (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

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 the clinical aspects of mothers and children and the 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, and clinical medicine.
