Abstract excerpt
Hyperglycemia and compromised beta-cell development were demonstrated in neonatal rats programmed with a gestational high-fat diet. The aim of this study was to determine whether these changes were attributed to impaired insulin release and altered immunoreactivity of Pdx-1, glucokinase (GK), and glucose transporter (GLUT)-2 in high-fat-programmed neonates. Fetuses were maintained, via maternal nutrition, on...
