Resumen
AYALA-MORENO, María del Rosario et al. Papel de las alteraciones del sueño durante la gestación en la programación del feto para el desarrollo de obesidad y enfermedades crónicas degenerativas. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2019, vol.155, n.4, pp.423-427. Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.18004759.
Sleep disturbances are common in the third trimester of pregnancy and generate changes in the secretion of melatonin in pregnant women who sleep less than eight hours or have sleep disturbances, which promote various physiological changes in the mother that in turn result in low birth weight (LBW) in the fetus. LBW is associated with a phenomenon known as “metabolic programming,” in which the fetus is subjected to a stressful situation that results in irreversible metabolic alterations that predispose it to the development of obesity in adulthood.
