Morfofunctional and Molecular Changes in Placenta and Peripheral Blood in Preeclampsia and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE) are common pregnancy complications with similar risk factors. Although GDM is associated with PE, the exact mechanism underlying the association is unclear. The objective of this work was to study the morphofunctional and molecular changes in the placenta and peripheral blood in PE and GDM.
