Pre-pregnancy obesity is associated with an altered maternal metabolome and reduced Flt3L expression in preterm birth

Abstract Mechanisms linking pre-pregnancy obesity to increased preterm birth risk are unclear. Here, we examined the impact of pre-pregnancy obesity on metabolites, Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L), and proinflammatory cytokine profiles in preterm birth. We used cytokine bead array, ELIS...
