Sex: All
Ages: 1 Hour – 24 Months
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Enrollment: 163
Sponsor: Montefiore Medical Center

Location: Jack D. Weiler Hospital The Bronx New York

The molecular mechanisms underlying developmental programming of childhood obesity remain poorly understood. Here, the investigators address major questions about early childhood obesity programming by studying CD3+ T-cells from intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) newborns who have an increased risk for obesity and other metabolic disorders in adult life.
