Adiponectin Deficiency Impairs Maternal Metabolic Adaptation to Pregnancy in Mice
10 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Hypoadiponectinemia has been widely observed in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). To investigate the causal role of hypoadiponectinemia in GDM, adiponectin gene knockout (Adipoq−/−) and wild-type (WT) mice were crossed to produce pregnant mouse models with or without adiponectin deficiency. Adenoviral vector–mediated in vivo transduction was used to reconstitute adiponectin during late pregnancy....
