Interesting association between obesity and birth defects. Any suggestions of the mechanism involved?

Obesity is associated with increased glucose levels which activate genes involved in its metabolism. Perhaps it is due to persistant gene activation of developmental genes that are in part regulated by glucose or one of its effectors.

Obesity has been shown to impact on a wide variety of cellular pathways involved in growth.
