Restricción del crecimiento fetal e insulinorresistencia: Nuevos hallazgos y revisión de la literatura

There is a strong association between low birth weight and insulin resistance. The thrifty phenotype hypothesis, which postulates fetal programming for adaptation to an adverse intrauterine environment, resulting in a lower insulin sensitivity in utero, is one of the hypothesis to explain this assoc...
