Pregnancy is an inflammatory state. The state is more severe when a female is obese. Our goals are to understand how pregnancy and obesity interact to affect processes that change during gestation, such as glucose intolerance, inflammation, and altered lipid metabolism. Recently, we have begun to study the multiparous female since in humans, as in rodents, multiparity is...
