The maternal allostatic load score and the components are mean pregnancy values (mean across early-, mid- and late- gestation visits). SES= socioeconomic status; BMI= body mass index; Log HOMA-IR= logarithmic base 10 of the homeostatic model of insulin resistance; FFA= free fatty acid; CRP= c-reactive protein; IL-6= interleukin 6; AUC= Area under the curve; CS= citrate synthase; mtDNAcn= mitochondrial DNA copy number; all reported enzymatic activity levels are normalized to nuclear DNA copies (i.e., per cell).
