Obese mother offspring have hepatic lipidic modulation that contributes to sex-dependent metabolic adaptation later in life
Savva et al. investigate the sex dependent effect of maternal obesity on the metabolism of offspring. They find that metabolic changes are conferred on a sex basis, with males suffering from impaired lipid metabolism relative to females when born to obese mothers, using a lipidomic approach.
