This is the first study assessing fatty acid composition of lipids in matched maternal plasma and placental tissue from lean, obese, and GDM women stratified by fetal sex. It highlights how GDM affects distribution of fatty acids in lipid classes changes in a sexually dimorphic manner in the placenta.
