| Core Tip |
Gestational diabetes mellitus does not only affect maternal glucose metabolism, but it can also program lifelong metabolic vulnerabilities in the offspring. This article emphasizes the underappreciated role of the maternal liver as a metabolic sensor that detects pregnancy-related physiological stress and modulates systemic signals accordingly. When impaired by gestational diabetes mellitus, the maternal liver becomes a source of maladaptive endocrine, inflammatory, and metabolic cues that are transmitted to the fetus. These signals can reprogram fetal liver development and increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus in later life. Recognizing the liver’s central role in this process opens new avenues for preventive and therapeutic strategies targeting both maternal and offspring health. |
