Pregnancy does not appear to have additive or synergistic effects on adiposity-associated inflammation, and may even blunt the BMI-dependent increase in proinflammatory markers by the end of gestation.
Pregnancy may blunt BMI-linked inflammation by term; leaves open effects on maternal-fetal cardiometabolic outcomes.
Although normal pregnancy exhibits proinflammatory features, this does not seem to have additive or synergistic effects on the inflammation associated with adiposity. On the contrary, we found that the BMI-dependent increase in proinflammatory markers was not evident at the end of pregnancy.
