Physical activity during pregnancy and association with changes in fat mass and adipokines in women of normal-weight or with obesity

Abstract Adipose tissue and adipokine concentrations change markedly during pregnancy, but the effects of physical activity on these changes are rarely studied. We aimed to assess physical activity levels in pregnant women of normal-weight (NW) or with obesity (OB), and to determine the relation wit...
