OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the longitudinal changes in energy
expenditure and body composition in relationship to alterations in carbohydrate metabolism
in women with normal and abnormal glucose metabolism. We hypothesized that women
with decreased insulin sensitivity before conception would have less fat accretion and
smaller increases in energy expenditure. STUDY DESIGN: Six women with normal glucose
tolerance and 10 women with abnormal glucose tolerance were evaluated before …
