Maternal Obesity Effect on Offspring Pancreatic Endocrine Cells: Investigation of the Cell Transdifferentiation
2023-06-13
Abstract excerpt
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a disease characterized by impaired functioning of pancreatic beta cells. In the later stages of the disease, beta cell dysfunction is defined as a decrease in functional cell count. Our hypothesis was that obesity-induced hyperglycemia of the mother could lead to dedifferentiation and/or transdifferentiation in their offspring's pancreatic beta cells. In our study, the mother Wistar rats...
