Abstract excerpt
Studies in both humans and rodents suggest that maternal diabetes leads to a higher risk of the fetus developing impaired glucose tolerance and obesity during adulthood.

We aimed to determine the consequences of maternal insulin resistance on offspring metabolism and endocrine pancreas...
