Maternal Serum Triglyceride, Glucose Tolerance, and Neonatal Birth Weight Ratio in Pregnancy: A study within a racially heterogeneous population

To determine the value of measuring serum triglyceride (TG) levels early in pregnancy for predicting late-gestation glucose tolerance and neonatal birth weight ratio (BWR) (birth weight corrected for gestational age).The relationships between morning nonfasting TG measured early in pregnancy (gestational age 12 +/- 6 weeks [mean +/- SD]) and glucose tolerance measured by a 3-h 50-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) late in pregnancy...
