Metabolic phenotypes of infants with normal birth weight, small-for-gestational-age, or after maternal gestational diabetes mellitus
… While SGA infants in CBGS showed typical rapid postnatal growth patterns, the contemporary OGDM cohort showed a distinct trend to that in earlier cohorts, with normal birth weights but reduced adiposity, which was sustained from birth to 24 months. Preliminary analyses of infant capillary …
