Maternal hormonal and metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity, can adversely affect the intrauterine environment, resulting in suboptimal fetal growth and an elevated risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in the later life of the offspring. In this review, we examine the long-term impact of elevated maternal androgen levels during pregnancy on offspring. Maternal hyperandrogenemia is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and anxiety-like behaviors, mediated by alterations in key brain regions responsible for emotion and cognition.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy constitute one of the principal reasons for maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Identification of molecular mechanisms causing placental dysfunction resulting in gestational hypertension is crucial in the development of new methods of prevention and treatment. The aim of this case-control study was to assess changes in miRNA expression, and biomarkers such as NT-proBNP and galectin-3, in women with uncomplicated pregnancies and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Aim: Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe pregnancy-related disorder characterized by hypertension and multi-organ failure, primarily affecting the maternal vasculature and placenta. The aim of this review is to explain the molecular mechanisms behind PE by investigating the relationship between exosome release and complement activation, which could provide insight into potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: This review analyzes existing literature on the role of the complement system and exosomes in the pathophysiology of PE.

Cells cross the placenta during pregnancy, resulting in proliferation of semiallogeneic cells in the mother and fetus decades later. This phenomenon, termed microchimerism, is documented across mammalian species, implying an evolutionary benefit. Still, short- and long-term effects remain uncertain.

Objective: In animal models, internal iliac artery occlusion caused gestational hypertension; however, whether this phenomena occurs in humans is still unknown.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Birth Certificate Application of Taiwan and linked to the National Health Insurance Research Database and Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database from 2008 to 2017. Women who underwent internal iliac artery occlusion before pregnant were identified according to diagnosis and procedure codes.
