Fetal Environment and Glycosylation Status in Neonatal Cord Blood: A Comprehensive Mass Spectrometry-based Glycosylation Analysis

摘要

Fetal environment is known to be a major predictive factor of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, associations of fetal environment and cord blood glycoforms are uncertain. In this study, we aimed to determine whether glycosylation status in neonatal cord blood is associated with perinatal outcomes reflecting a poor fetal environment.
