Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how glucose metabolism changes in diabetic mothers affect inflammation, cell death, and placental health, with a focus on the role of melatonin as a potential treatment.
- Researchers compared 40 pregnant women with type 2 diabetes to non-diabetic controls, analyzing oxidative stress and apoptosis in their blood and placental cells after melatonin treatment.
- Results showed that hyperglycemia led to increased oxidative stress and cell death in both maternal blood and placental cells, while melatonin helped reduce these harmful effects, particularly in the placental layers.
