“…Supplements containing Lactobacillus acidophilus in GDM mothers may also reduce birth weight in newborns [82]. Animal studies have also shown that probiotic (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, and Enterococcus faecalis (BiLaEn)) interventions improved glucose metabolism, the gut microbiota, and gut permeability in pregnant rats, and offspring pancreatic islet β-cell differentiation and development were also improved [83]. In addition, prebiotics, as compounds that modulate the composition and activity of the gut microbiota, were also found to improve glucose metabolism through the offspring liver lncRNA Serpina4-ps1/let-7b-5p/Ppargc1a axis [84].…”

The incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing every year and has become a serious public health problem. In addition to genetic factors, environmental factors in early life development are risk factors for diabetes. There is growing evidence that the gut microbiota plays an important role in glucose metabolism, and the gut microbiota of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) differs significantly from that of healthy pregnant women. This article reviews the role of maternal gut microbiota in offspring glucose metabolism. To explore the potential mechanisms by which the gut microbiota affects glucose metabolism in offspring, we summarize clinical studies and experimental animal models that support the hypothesis that the gut microbiota affects glucose metabolism in offspring from dams with GDM and discuss interventions that could improve glucose metabolism in offspring. Given that adverse pregnancy outcomes severely impact the quality of survival, reversing the deleterious effects of abnormal glucose metabolism in offspring through early intervention is important for both mothers and their offspring.
