Omental adipose tissue from OB pregnant women produced altered concentrations of adipokines. Acute OB medium exposure induced MA dysfunction, an effect not mirrored by exposure to leptin. These data suggest that an aberrant endocrine environment created by increased central adiposity in OB pregnant women induces vascular endothelial dysregulation, which may predispose them to a poor pregnancy outcome.
