title: The infant of the diabetic mother: pregnancy as a "tissue culture experience".
abstract: Studies of the infant of the diabetic mother at the Diabetes in Pregnancy Center at Northwestern University have aimed to delineate the relationship between the transplacental metabolic fuel availability and fetal growth and development. Data are presented linking the altered metabolic fuel availability and the various problems, short- and long-range implications, of the infant of the diabetic mother.
