Brief description Babies who are born small are at increased risk of diabetes and obesity in later life, partly because restricting growth before birth decreases the insulin sensitivity of muscle and diverts nutrients to fat deposition. We will define the mechanisms underlying impaired insulin sensitivity in fetal growth restriction. Importantly, we will also test interventions to improve insulin sensitivity after intrauterine growth restriction.
