Maternal diet quality is associated with placental proteins in the placental insulin/ growth factor, environmental stress, inflammation, and mTOR signaling pathways: The Healthy Start ECHO Cohort.

Higher quality diet had sex-specific associations with placental protein abundance/phosphorylation. Given that these proteins have been correlated with neonatal anthropometry, our findings provide insight into modifiable factors and placental pathways that should be examined in future studies as a potential links between maternal diet and offspring metabolic health.Study registration ID: NCT02273297Study registration URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02273297?term = NCT02273297&draw = 2&rank = 1.
