"While it is known that these drugs may increase the risk of obesity in adults, http://www.buzzillions.com/profile.dox?id=11517630 it is unknown whether the use of antidepressants during pregnancy increases the risk of women metabolic disorders in their children," said Holloway.

"We have demonstrated for the first time in experiments involving animals, that the use of antidepressants called SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), results in increased fat accumulation and inflammation of the liver, raising new http://www.startupnation.com/community/profile/85324 concerns about the long-term metabolic complications in children born to mother who took SSRI antidepressants during pregnancy, "said Nicole De Long, who presented the research at a recent meeting of the International Society of Endocrinology and the Endocrine Society.

The researchers stress that pregnant women should not avoid antidepressants during pregnancy, http://www.stuffpit.com/profile/Kinkyjoe but they and their children should be monitored further to the potential occurrence of diabetes and obesity.

"The benefits from this research is that it can help identify groups of high-risk children who may require special treatment to prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life," said De Long.
