TL;DR: RNA-sequencing on term placenta from obese women indicates that maternal obesity leads to a lipotoxic placental environment that is associated with decreased regulators of angiogenesis and increased markers of inflammation and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: The results indicate that maternal programming of metabolic disease can be passed through the female germline and that the transfer of aberrant oocyte mitochondria to subsequent generations may contribute to the increased risk for developing insulin resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and compare adult emergency department (ED) visits related to edible and inhaled cannabis exposure, and find that visits attributable to inhaled consumption are more frequent than those attributable to edibles, although the latter is associated with more acute psychiatric visits and more ED visits than expected.

TL;DR: Diet-induced obesity impairs endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization in obese women, and mice exposed to an HF/HS diet became obese and metabolically impaired.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GLUT8 is a cell surface-localized transporter and thatGLUT8 overexpression or GLUT 8 shRNA-mediated gene silencing significantly induces and blocks radiolabeled fructose uptake in cultured hepatocytes.
