Reduced Insulin Receptor Expression and Altered DNA Methylation in Fat Tissues and Blood of Women With GDM and Offspring
26 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Context: Altered expression of the insulin receptor (IR) in adipose tissue (AT) could contribute to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) etiopathogenesis. Transcriptional regulation via epigenetic mechanisms (e.g., DNA methylation) may play a critical role. However, the human IR promoter DNA methylation patterns and involvement in gene expression are unknown. Objective: We evaluated IR mRNA and protein expression...
