Characterisation of pregnancy-induced alterations in apolipoproteins and their associations with maternal metabolic risk factors and offspring birth outcomes: a preconception and l... by Li Chen, Karen Mei-Ling Tan, Melvin Khee-Shing Leow, Kok Hian Tan, Jerry Kok Yen Chan, Shiao-Yng Chan, Yap Seng Chong, Peter D. Gluckman, Johan G. Eriksson, Markus R. Wenk, Sartaj Ahmad Mir

“…However, there is a lack of longitudinal studies to quantify the concentrations of maternal apolipoproteins from preconception to postpartum and their associations with maternal metabolic health and offspring birth outcomes. Methods: Quantification of apolipoproteins was performed on maternal plasma samples (N = 243 trios) collected at preconception, 26–28 weeks’ pregnancy, and three months postpartum in the Singapore PREconception Study of long-Term maternal and child Outcomes (S-PRESTO) cohort study. …”
