Resumo

We investigated the outcomes of intrauterine exposure to hyperglycemia on glycemic parameters, oxidative stress, hypoxia, and pancreatic islet in rats' fetuses and newborns. Diabetes was induced with streptozotocin in Postnatal day 1 – PND1, nondiabetic rats (control) received the buffer. The adult rats were mated, and their offspring were euthanized at birth and PND5 and 15 periods for blood, liver, and pancreas analysis. Maternal diabetes led to neonatal hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance (higher HOMA-IR), and oxidative stress in PND5. On PND15, the antioxidant system was inefficient in blood and liver tissues. HIF-1α and PGC-1α of the pups did not show differences, confirming an inability to respond to hyperglycemic changes. Pancreatic islets showed a reduced area in PND5 and PND15. Maternal diabetes influences fetal plasticity and affects the area of the pancreatic islet, causing hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress in fetuses and newborns.
