Aim Obesity has been associated with changes in autophagy and its increasing prevalence among pregnant women is implicated in higher rates of placental-mediated complications of pregnancy such as pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. Autophagy is involved in normal placentation, thus changes in autophagy may lead to impaired placental function and development. The aim of this study was to investigate the connection between obesity and autophagy in the placenta in otherwise uncomplicated pregnancies.Methods Immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis were done on placental and omental samples from obese (body mass index [BMI] >= 30 kg/m(2)) and normal weight (BMI
