Are adiponectin oligomers similarly distributed in adequate-for-gestational-age obese children irrespective of feeding in their first year?
Adiponectin oligomers and metabolic characteristics are similarly distributed in adequate-for-gestational-age obese children, irrespective of the type and duration of the feeding in the first year of life. Gender and mother's BMI in pregnancy are contributors to adiponectin regulation. Further studies will explain whether breastfeeding protects against metabolic impairment later in life.
Our results do not support the notion that noninherited maternal antigens have a role in susceptibility to RA in the offspring.
