Role of metformin in epigenetic regulation of placental mitochondrial biogenesis in maternal diabetes
20 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Adverse maternal environments, such as diabetes and obesity, impair placental mitochondrial function, which affects fetal development and offspring long-term health. The underlying mechanisms and effective interventions to abrogate such effect remain unclear. Our previous studies demonstrated impaired mitochondrial biogenesis in male human placenta of diabetic mothers. In the present studies, epigenetic marks...
