Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
- Fasting plasma and saliva levels of circulating hormones (Ghrelin, Leptin, Insulin, GIP, GLP-1, PP, PYY, BDNF, NPY, Adiponectin) - Picture of the tongue to count the number of taste buds per cm2 - Taste perception assessment with PTC strips - A copy of the handpalm and fingers of the right hand, which will enable the analysis of the potential influence of prenatal hormones by calculating the ratio between the index and the ring finger	—
