Exploring the role of oxidative stress, fatty acids and neurotrophins in gestational diabetes mellitus.
Growth Factors 2021 March 12
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) constitutes an unfavorable intrauterine environment for embryonic and feto-placental development. Women with GDM are at higher risk for materno-fetal complications and placental abnormalities. The placenta acts as an interface between the maternal and fetal circulations and also plays an important role in protecting the fetus from adverse effects of maternal metabolic conditions. One of the earliest abnormalities observed in GDM pregnancies is increased oxidative stress in the placenta which affects fetal development. Imbalances in maternal nutrition particularly long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) intake and/or metabolism lead to increased oxidative stress. Reports indicate that oxidative stress and LCPUFA such as docosahexaenoic acid affect the levels of neurotrophins. The present review aims to provide insights into a mechanistic link between oxidative stress, LCPUFA and neurotrophin in the placenta in women with GDM and its implications for neurodevelopmental outcomes in children.
