Background: Although galactose is an important component in human lactose, there are few reports of its role in the newborn metabolism. Objective: To determine the relationship of blood galactose and glucose levels in ...

This study aimed at correlating maternal blood glucose levels with DNA damage levels in the offspring of women with diabetes or mild gestational hyperglycemia (MGH). Based on oral glucose tolerance test results and glycemic ...

Background: Studies have suggested that different non-glucose sugars and sugar alcohols play a role in placental and fetal metabolism. However, the role of fructose in the fetal and newborn metabolism is unclear and studies ...

Maternal malnutrition was shown to affect early growth and leads to permanent alterations in insulin secretion and sensitivity of offspring. In addition, epidemiological studies showed an association between low birth ...

A b s t r a c t Background: The most well known reproductive consequence of residence at high altitude (HA .2700 m) is reduction in fetal growth. Reduced fetoplacental oxygenation is an underlying cause of pregnancy ...

Changes in glucose metabolism of diabetic mothers affect immunological components, proinflammatory factors, and placental hypervascularization that can induce cell death. The hormone melatonin has been identified as a ...

The modulatory effects of melatonin (MLT) on maternal and fetal macrophages in diabetic rats and the repercussion of maternal hyperglycemia on fetus-placenta parameters were studied. This was achieved by determining maternal ...
