Title
Gestational dietary intakes, metabolic abnormalities and human milk hormones
Objective(s)/Process or Summary of Content
1. Only a few reports have investigated the impact of diet during pregnancy on risk of gestational diabetes, and none have studied this question using comprehensive glucose homeostasis profile

2. A number of studies have detected insulin and adiponectin in human milk, but none have investigated the impact of maternal metabolic status assessed during pregnancy on these hormones in milk
Conclusions(s)/Recommendations
• Prenatal metabolic abnormalities are associated with higher insulin in mature milk
• Obstetrical parameters are associated with higher adiponectin in early milk
