Abstract
Adipose tissue is a major endocrine organ capable of modulating metabolic and inflammatory processes and contributing to the development of metabolic complications. The relationship between adipokines/pro-inflammatory molecules and fetal growth is not well understood. This study was designed to compare the concentrations of a series of adipokines and pro-inflammatory molecules in matching mid-trimester amniotic fluid(15-20wks[AF]) and cord blood collected at birth(32-41wks) between the larger and smaller fetuses in a cohort of dichorionic-diamniotic(DCDA) twin pairs discordant for growth.
