1 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To determine whether placental IGF1R, IGFBP3, INSR and IGF1 DNA methylation and mRNA levels were dysregulated when exposed to maternal impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and investigate whether the epigenetic profile is associated with feto-placental developmental markers. PATIENTS & METHODS: The IGT diagnosis was made according to the WHO criteria (IGT: n = 34; normal glucose tolerance [NGT]: n = 106). DNA...
