Özet:

The view that environmental factors exposed in the fetal process and in the early years of life can affect life-long health is an important topic that has been focused on in recent years. In particular, the origin of obesity extends to the early period of life and inadequate nutrition in the prenatal and/or postnatal process increases the tendency to obesity in the future. Disorders in organ functions, changes in insulin secretion and sensitivity, increase in the number and/or size of fat cells or changes in the function of the adiposite tissue and changes in appetite regulation are considered the main mechanisms of fetal programming. In addition to maternal obesity and gestational weight increase, the development of gestational diabetes in the mother increases the risk of developing obesity in the early age of the newborn. The risk of obesity is that the body weight gain is lower or higher than recommended. Maternal hyperglycemia can cause an increase in fetal adiposite mass by increasing fetal insulin synthesis. Therefore, it is important to ensure the recommended level of body weight gain and metabolic control in gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
