Placental function can illuminate future disease in adults and children

 E-Mail AURORA, Colo. (Jan. 22, 2021) - Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered a direct association between placental function in pregnant women and future metabolic disorders in children and adults, a finding that could lead to earlier intervention and diagnosis of disease. We ve known for some time that many major diseases in adults like diabetes and cardiovascular disease are at least partly caused by problems during fetal life, said the study s senior author Thomas Jansson, MD, PhD, professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. For example, it has been shown that 50% of all type-2 diabetes in young adults are caused by exposure to the intrauterine environment in pregnant women with obesity and/or gestational diabetes.
