Maternal, placental, and fetal Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-1) and IGF Binding proteins (IGFBPs) in Diabetic pregnancies: Effects on fetal growth and birth size.
Abstract:Introduction: During gestation, IGF1 secretion and availability in the maternal blood and at the maternal-fetal interface is mainly regulated by IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) such as IGFBP-1 synthesized by the decidua. Data about the interaction between maternal, placental, and fetal IGF1/IGFBP in relation to fetal growth and newborn size during diabetic pregnancy (gestational Diabetes (GDM) and Type 1 DM (T1DM) is not clear. Aim of the study and Methods: We reviewed the research papers published in Pubmed, Goo… Show more
