Abstract
Obesity has been (re)established as one of the greatest concerns in public health and global risk framework for the COVID-19 pandemic. Obesity self-perpetuation includes the "Developmental Origins of Health and Disease" (DOHaD) through fetal programming. Biological processes in mother during critical developmental window and maternal/fetal outcomes are strictly related. Thus, placenta eme…

Abstract
In last decades, humanity seems a pronounced increase in the prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases and increased public health expenditures for its treatment. Among these diseases, obesity is one of the most serious because its cellular and molecular mechanisms of adaptation can trigger the appearance of other types of metabolic diseases like diabetes, arterial hypertension and s…

Abstract
Pregnancy has imperative importance for maternal and fetal health. Nutritional and metabolic insults at this period how obesity or malnutrition, corroborating the DOHaD hypothesis, could includes placental changes from the oxidative stress mechanisms, inflammation, or endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERE). In addition, several UPR sensors have already been classified as essential for the dev…
