      abstract = {This book explores the nature of pregnancy and metabolic  syndrome as proinflammatory conditions and explains how  pregnancy provides a window of opportunity for preventing  the lifelong complications of metabolic syndrome, during  which key risk factors can be identified and beneficial  dietary changes can be implemented. The book's opening  sections discuss inflammation in the context of pregnancy,  including the nature of the placenta as a proinflammatory  tissue. In the main body, it points to new possible  connections to truncal obesity, inflammation, metabolic  syndrome, and major obstetrical syndromes, including  preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and pre-term delivery.  Based on the insights offered by this analysis, the  remainder of the book focuses on a variety of nutritional  measures and diets that can be of benefit during and beyond  pregnancy. Readers will learn how the higher level of  compliance with medical instructions during pregnancy can  be capitalized on to ensure enduring health benefits for  mother and child alike.},
