Q

Describe the thrifty phenotype hypothesis

A

Thrifty phenotype hypothesis

  1. Maternal or placental abnormalities
  2. Fetal malnutrition (especially amino acids)
  3. Decrease beta cell mass or islet function
  4. Decreased fetal growth
  5. Infant malnutrition
  6. Decreased adult beta cell function
  7. Non-insulin dependent diabetes
  8. Metabolic syndrome
17
Q

Thrifty phenotype occurs due to ___

A

Thrifty phenotype occurs due to mismatch between uterine environment (maternal undernutrition) and childhood environment

  • Famine exposure
  • Timing of maternal exposure is important
18
Q

Intrauterine growth restriction can occur in the setting of infection, preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, smoking, and multiples (twins, triplets). The common mechanism of these conditions leading to intrauterine growth restriction is ____

A

Intrauterine growth restriction can occur in the setting of infection, preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, smoking, and multiples (twins, triplets). The common mechanism of these conditions leading to intrauterine growth restriction is placental insufficiency

19
Q

Diabetes in pregnancy causes ___ and ___

A

Diabetes in pregnancy causes fuel-mediated teratogenesis and developmental overnutrition

20
Q

Describe the pathophysiology of diabetes in pregnancy

A

Pathophysiology of diabetes in pregnancy

  1. Mother: decreased insulin
  2. Mother: increased plasma glucose, amino acids, lipids
  3. Placenta
  4. Fetus neonate: mixed nutrients
  5. Fetus neonate: increased insukin
  6. Macrosmia and hypoglycemia (fetus neonate) and obesity and impaired glucose tolerance (child)
  7. Diabetes mellitus
21
Q

Insulin production starts to ramp up before ___

A

Insulin production starts to ramp up before delivery

(gestational diabetes: less insulin)

22
Q

Describe diabetes in pregnancy

A

Diabetes in pregnancy

  • Type 1 diabetes = hyperglycemia in 1st trimester
  • Impaired organesis
  • Congenital abnormalities
  • 3% develop congenital cardiac anomalies
  • Other anomalies: TE fistula, duodenal atresia, renal agenesis, NTDs
23
Q

Type 1 diabetes is associated with ____

A

Type 1 diabetes is associated with hyperglycemia in 1st trimester

24
Q

A

Gestational diabetes mellitus results in developmental overnutrition

Gestational diabetes can lead to fetal demise or jaundice of the baby

27
Q

(insulin does NOT)

28
Q

Insulin is a ___

A

Insulin is a growth factor

29
Q

Fetal hyperinsulinemia involves ____, leading to ____ and ____

A

Fetal hyperinsulinemia involves insulin binding IGF-1 receptor with as much affinity as insulin receptor in utero, leading to fetal growth / macrosmia and large for gestational age

30
Q

Describe phenotype of offspring of gestational diabetes mother

A

Phenotype of offspring of gestational diabetes mother

  • Large for gestational age / macrosmia = birthweight > 4 kg
  • Higher amounts of adipose tissue at birth
  • Long-term follow-up studies
31
Q

Infants exposed to diabetes in utero have ____ BMI

A

Infants exposed to diabetes in utero have higher BMI

32
Q

Describe T2DM in children

A

T2DM in children

  • More severe, more rapid beta cell deterioration
  • Less insulin sensitive, even post0puberty
  • Earlier disease complications
  • Poor treatment options
33
Q

Describe large birth weight

A

Large birth weight

  • Risk factor for obesity in childhood
  • Fatness at birth prediposes to fatness throughout life
  • Mechanism: fetal hypothalamus / neuroendocrine systems, energy balance / satiety
34
Q

Mechanism underlying excessive fetal growth in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus is ___

A

Mechanism underlying excessive fetal growth in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus is fetal insulin binds IGF-1 receptors with high affinity

35
Q

Describe obesity in pregnancy

A

Obesity in pregnancy

  • Common
  • Pregnancy complications: HTN, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, risk of operative delivery
  • Large for gestational age neonates
  • Increases adiposity at birth and childhood
  • Increased risk of childhood obesity
36
Q

Developmental origins of disease affects ____, ____, and ____

A

Developmental origins of disease affects lung development, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and fetal neurodevelopment

  • Allergy / asthma / atopy: environmental exposures in utero influence development of respiratory and immune systems, abnormal lung / immune system development, asthma risk
  • Endocrine-disrupting chemicals: exposures linked to metabolic disease, sensitive period (conception to birth = cellular replication and differentiation)
  • Fetal neurodevelopment: perinatal anxiety / depression / stress, increased inattentiveness / hyperactivity in boys, autism-like traits
