Enrichment and protein–protein interaction network analyses of target genes revealed that core genes including Ppargc1a, Prkaa2, Slc2a1, Rxrg, and Gcgr, and pathways, including the PPAR signaling pathway and FoxO signaling pathway, had a potential association with metabolic syndrome development in IUGR. Here, SLC2A1 is linked to metabolic syndrome.
