BACKGROUND Maternal hyperglycemia is considered a risk factor for fetal morbidity. Since there is a high prevalence of diabetes mellitus among the population of Bahrain, we conducted a prospective population-based study of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in non-diabetic pregnant women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS All non-diabetic pregnant women attending antenatal clinics during January 2001 to ...

Should Be Used to Treat Diabetic Pregnant Women I t has now been established that even mild forms of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (impaired glucose tolerance according to World Health Organization 1985 criteria) can cause major morbidity and even mortality if left untreated (1).

INTRODUCTION Adipose tissue can release hormones into the blood stream in response to specific extracellular stimuli or changes in metabolic status. Resistin, an adipose-secreted factor, is primarily involved in the modulation of insulin sensitivity and adipocyte differentiation. Adiponectin, an adipocyte-specific hormone with insulin sensitizing, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects,...

AIMS The main goal of this study was to evaluate the presence of oxidative damage and to quantify its level in gestational diabetes. METHODS Thirty-six healthy women and thirty-six women with gestational diabetes were studied in the three trimesters of pregnancy regarding their levels of oxidative stress markers. These women were diagnosed with diabetes in the second trimester of pregnancy. B...

Context: Gestational diabetes is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Diabetes during pregnancy increases the incidences of congenital anomalies, in a mother and her embryo. Oxidative stress has been implicated to be responsible in diabetic embryopathy. Objective: In this study, we used nanoceria as an antioxidant for amelioration of diabetic embry...

objective: low-grade systemic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. c-reactive protein (crp), an acute phase protein produced by hepatocytes, may be associated with diabetes. this study aimed to compare serum levels of crp in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm), impaired glucose tolerance test and control subjects. materials and methods: in this case c...

Diabetes is a noncommunicable lifestyle condition that impacts millions of individuals worldwide. physiological illness affects several different organs in the human body. Several studies have found direct relationship between gut microbiota and diabetes control. Probiotic intervention treatment mellitus has been center focus current scenario.

OBJECTIVE In-vitro animal studies suggest that high glucose levels impair fetal cardiac function early in gestation. We aimed to study whether evidence of first-trimester myocardial dysfunction can be detected in fetuses of women with pregestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS Women with diabetes mellitus underwent fetal echocardiography at 11-14 weeks' gestational age. In fetuses with normal ...
