No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Our studies are aimed at examining effects of intrauterine exposure to GDM on metabolic risks in Hispanic children. Our primary hypothesis predicts that intrauterine exposure to GDM will be associated with one or more of three critical factors involved in the development of diabetes: 1) increased adiposity, 2) insulin resistance, and 3) decreased beta cell function in Hispanic children when compared to non-exposed children matched for ethnicity, age, gender, and Tanner stage. In a subset of this cohort, we will also examine the effects of intrauterine exposure to gestational diabetes on the brain pathways that regulate appetite and body weight in children ages 6 to 15 years old.
