Dear Catherine:

I located some articles on ketosis in pregnancy, but there is only one
reference to the first trimester (and it was about rats!).  I originally read
about ketones in Nutrition and Lactation by Worthington-Roberts.  As I said
before, the only full-blown articles I have seen were in regard to
gestational diabetes.  It is quite possible that the literature on embryology
would have more in it, but I am not familiar with it!  I, too, would be
interested in learning more.  Maybe I'll get to go to the library again
soon!!
