Low adiponectin concentration has been associated with increased insulin resistance. Studies show a beneficial effect of vitamin E supplementation on insulin sensitivity. We aimed to investigate the association of prenatal antioxidant supplementation with increased adiponectin concentrations in pregnant participants and their newborn infants.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Secondary analysis of a randomized control trial of prenatal vitamin C and E supplementation to prevent preeclampsia in low-risk nulliparous participants. Plasma of participants at time of randomization (9\u201316 weeks gestation) and delivery, and neonatal cord blood were analyzed by specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for adiponectin concentration. Multivariable analysis was adjusted for confounders.<\/jats:p><jats:p>A total of 198 (98 vitamin, 100 placebo) maternal\u2013neonatal dyad samples were analyzed. Maternal and neonatal characteristics were similar between the vitamin and placebo groups, with the exception of race\/ethnicity, with Whites more common in the placebo group (80 vs. 66.3%, p\u2009=\u20090.02). In bivariable analyses, adiponectin concentrations at delivery were higher in the vitamin group compared with the placebo group (29.4 vs. 27.5 \u00b5g\/mL, p\u2009=\u20090.04), whereas cord blood adiponectin concentrations were similar (26.6 . vs. 27.4 \u00b5g\/mL, p\u2009=\u20090.47) between the two groups.
