Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xiangju Cao"
- Xiangju Cao's recent research focuses on the impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on glucose homeostasis in pregnant mice and the functional maturation of their offspring's islets, highlighting the role of exosomes derived from GDM-affected individuals.
- In a 2024 study published in Life Sciences, Cao found that GDM-derived exosomes adversely affect both maternal glucose regulation and the development of pancreatic islets in offspring, indicating significant transgenerational effects of maternal metabolic health.
- Another study from 2022 explored the preventive effects of an aqueous extract on high-fat diet-induced fatty liver in mice, demonstrating its potential in reducing obesity-related metabolic disorders and underscoring the significance of dietary interventions.
