Plasma Acylcarnitines During Pregnancy and Neonatal Anthropometry: A Longitudinal Study in a Multiracial Cohort

Objectives Plasma profile of acylcarnitines has been suggested to associate with adverse maternal outcomes such as gestational diabetes. However, data on their associations with neonatal outcomes are sparse. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the prospective profile of acylcarnitines across gestation and its association with neonatal anthropometry, including birthweight (BW), BW z-score, the sum of skinfolds (SSF), length, and circumferences.
