Inflammation in obesity, diabetes, and related disorders

Theresa Rohm et al.

Summary: Obesity can cause chronic systemic inflammation, leading to insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction, and ultimately type 2 diabetes. This inflammatory state also contributes to long-term complications of diabetes and may be associated with other conditions like Alzheimer's disease and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Maternal Diet Quality Is Associated with Placental Proteins in the Placental Insulin/Growth Factor, Environmental Stress, Inflammation, and mTOR Signaling Pathways: The Healthy Start ECHO Cohort

Ellen C. Francis et al.

Summary: Maternal diet quality has sex-specific associations with placental protein abundance and phosphorylation. These proteins are also correlated with neonatal anthropometry, providing insight into potential links between maternal diet and offspring metabolic health for future studies.

The determinant role of IL-6 in the establishment of inflammation leading to spontaneous preterm birth

Elizabeth Prairie et al.

Summary: Preterm birth is a major public health concern due to its association with inflammation, especially IL-6, which plays important roles in the timing of childbirth and fetal tissue damage. Current treatments focus on stopping contractions but do not directly address the maternal inflammation that contributes to premature birth.

The role of obesity and gestational diabetes on placental size and fetal oxygenation

Chiara Bianchi et al.

Summary: The study showed that maternal pregestational obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus can impact placental size and fetal oxygenation, leading to hypoxia and acidemia in fetuses. Placentas from obese women were heavier and thicker, and GDM pregnancies had lower F/P ratios.

Sexual Dimorphism in Innate Immunity: The Role of Sex Hormones and Epigenetics

Rebecca Shepherd et al.

Summary: Sexual dimorphism in immune response is well demonstrated in humans, with females exhibiting lower infection rates and higher incidence of autoimmune diseases compared to males, potentially linked to the effects of sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Studies have shown sex-specific transcriptome and epigenetic changes, which may contribute to the sexually dimorphic immune response.

Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging: A review of its application in the assessment of placental function

Mathilde Jacquier et al.

Summary: Developing a better understanding of placental insufficiency is crucial due to its involvement in common maternofetal complications. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is a robust method for investigating organ perfusion and could provide valuable insights into the microcirculatory parameters of the human placenta.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound evaluation of placental perfusion in brachicephalic bitches

Priscila Silva et al.

Summary: This study investigated placental hemodynamics in pregnant brachycephalic bitches, finding significant changes in placental perfusion and vascularization parameters at different time points during normal pregnancies, while fetal abnormalities may result in irregular distribution and delayed perfusion of placental tissue. The combination of dopplerfluxometry and CEUS allowed for the evaluation of qualitative and quantitative parameters of physiological pregnancy hemodynamics without evidence of significant changes in the maternal-fetal physiology, demonstrating the potential applicability of CEUS in detecting placental dysfunction in fetuses with abnormal conditions.

Placental acute inflammation infiltrates and pregnancy outcomes: a retrospective cohort study

Maria Orsaria et al.

Summary: The study found that acute placental inflammation can either be due to infection or sterile inflammation. The prevalence of acute placental inflammation was 6.06%, with about half of the cases being sterile. Acute placental inflammation was associated with adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes, particularly chorionic vasculitis was a risk factor for postnatal death.

Associations of Diet with Cardiometabolic and Inflammatory Profiles in Pregnant Women at Risk for Metabolic Complications

Kataryna Jaworsky et al.

Summary: Dietary intakes during pregnancy play a crucial role in the development of metabolic complications. Healthy diets are associated with lower risks of weight gain, gestational diabetes, and hypertensive complications. Ethnic-specific studies are needed to further explore the impact of diet on pregnancy outcomes.
