Implications of dietary fatty acids during pregnancy on placental, fetal and postnatal development--a review.

Emilio Herrera
Placenta
2002

During pregnancy, the mother adapts her metabolism to support the continuous draining of substrates by the fetus. Her increase in net body weight (free of the conceptus) corresponds to the… (More)

Lipid metabolism in the fetus and the newborn.

Emilio Herrera, Encarnacíón Amusquivar
Diabetes/metabolism research and reviews
2000

During late gestation, although maternal adipose tissue lipolytic activity becomes enhanced, lipolytic products cross the placenta with difficulty. Under fasting conditions, free fatty acids (FFA)… (More)

Validation of simple indexes to assess insulin sensitivity during pregnancy in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats.

Joyce Cacho, Julio Sevillano, Jair de Castro, Emilio Herrera, Maria Pilar Ramos
American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and…
2008

Insulin resistance plays a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, including gestational diabetes. The glucose clamp is considered the gold standard for determining in vivo insulin sensitivity, both in… (More)

Longitudinal study on lipoprotein profile, high density lipoprotein subclass, and postheparin lipases during gestation in women.

Joaquín Alvarez, A Montelongo, Alberto A. Iglesias, Miguel Angel Lasunción, Emilio Herrera
Journal of lipid research
1996

To understand the mechanism responsible for maternal hyperlipidemia, 25 healthy pregnant women were studied longitudinally during the three trimesters of gestation and at post-partum, and 11 were… (More)

Maternal Lipids as Strong Determinants of Fetal Environment and Growth in Pregnancies With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Ute M. Schaefer-Graf, Kristof Graf, +4 authors Emilio Herrera
Diabetes care
2008

OBJECTIVE To determine the contribution of maternal glucose and lipids to intrauterine metabolic environment and fetal growth in pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). RESEARCH… (More)

Vitamin E: action, metabolism and perspectives.

Emilio Herrera, Coral Barbas
Journal of physiology and biochemistry
2001

Natural vitamin E includes four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. RRR-alpha-tocopherol is the most abundant form in nature and has the highest biological activity. Although vitamin E is the main… (More)

Disturbances in lipid metabolism in diabetic pregnancy - Are these the cause of the problem?

Emilio Herrera, Henar Ortega-Senovilla
Best practice & research. Clinical endocrinology…
2010

The most common neonatal complication of gestational diabetes (GDM) is macrosomia. During early pregnancy an accumulation of maternal fat depots occurs followed by increased adipose tissue lipolysis… (More)

Longitudinal study of plasma lipoproteins and hormones during pregnancy in normal and diabetic women.

A Montelongo, Miguel Angel Lasunción, Luís Felipe Pallardo, Emilio Herrera
Diabetes
1992

Plasma lipoproteins were studied longitudinally at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester of gestation and at postpartum and postlactation in 12 age-matched PGDM women, 9 GDM women, and 12 healthy control… (More)

Decreased lipolysis and enhanced glycerol and glucose utilization by adipose tissue prior to development of obesity in monosodium glutamate (MSG) treated-rats

Marisa Dolnikoff, Antonia Martín-Hidalgo, U Machado, FB Lima, Emilio Herrera
International Journal of Obesity
2001

OBJECTIVE: To determine the metabolic alterations that lead to the neonatal administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG), which results in arrested growth and obesity.ANIMALS AND DESIGN: Wistar rats… (More)

Lipid metabolism during pregnancy and its implications for fetal growth.

Emilio Herrera, Henar Ortega-Senovilla
Current pharmaceutical biotechnology
2014

More glucose crosses the placenta than any other substrate, but correlations between its concentration in maternal plasma and fetal growth are not found consistently. The accumulation of maternal fat… (More)
