背景：由于脂肪细胞代谢的区域差异，确定区域脂肪分布是重要的。为了研究孕妇在怀孕期间的体脂分布是否发生变化，我们测量了孕妇腹部的脂肪厚度。研究方法：对腹部腹膜前脂肪层（P）和皮下脂肪层（S）的厚度进行了纵向研究;超声检查用于获得测量值，并计算每个妊娠期和产后的P/S比值。结果如下：与第一和第二个三个月相比，在第三个三个月观察到P和P/S比值的显着增加，因此，区域脂肪分布在怀孕期间的变化。结论：妊娠期腹内脂肪堆积增加。版权所有（C）2006 S. Karger AG，巴塞尔。
Background: Defining regional fat distribution is of importance because of regional variation in adipocyte metabolism. In order to investigate whether maternal body fat distribution changes during pregnancy we measured the abdominal maternal fat thickness. Methods: A longitudinal study of the thickness of the preperitoneal fat layer (P) and subcutaneous fat layer (S) in the abdomen was conducted; ultrasonography was used to obtain the measurements and the P/S ratio was calculated during each trimester as well as postpartum. Results: When compared with the first and second trimesters, a significant increase in both the P and P/S ratios was observed in the third trimester; thus, regional fat distribution changes during pregnancy. Conclusion: Intra-abdominal visceral fat accumulation increases during pregnancy. Copyright (C) 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel.
