Overview
Insulin insensitivity due to hormonal changes in pregnancy (especially during the second and third trimesters), and changes in maternal metabolism, are the main predisposing factors for acquiring gestational diabetes.
Pathophysiology
Maternal metabolic changes during pregnancy varies based on the age of the pregnancy, the maternal nutritional status, and the age of the mother.[1]
Insulin insensitivity
Insulin sensitivity reduces slightly during the first and second trimester, but it decreases by 40-60% during the third trimester.[2][3][4]
Other changes in the molecular level that may lead to insulin resistant include:[5]
- A reduction in the ability of insulin to phosphorylate the insulin receptor
- Decreased expression of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and increased levels of a specific kinase
Factors affecting insulin sensitivity include: estrogens and progesterone,[6] human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) or placental lactogen (HPL), prolactin, placental growth hormone variant (hGH-V), corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and corticotropin, leptin,[7] tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α),[8] adiponectin,[9] resistin, ghrelin and interleukin-6.
Maternal metabolic changes
Basal and postprandial levels of glucose, FFAs, triglycerides, and amino acids, are higher in GDM than in normal pregnancy.[10]
Maternal hyperglycemia leads to fetal hyperinsulinism, which is responsible for macrosomia and neonatal morbidity. The development of macrosomia (defined as birth weight >4000 g or above the 90th percentile for gestational age), is a frequent complication of pregnancies complicated by DM and GDM.
[11]
Increased adiposity is the primary component of the macrosomia. Infants of diabetic mothers may have up to twice the body fat content of infants of normal mothers.[12]
Shown below is a schematic model of the disease progression and consequences.
It has been found that women diagnosed with gestational diabetes already have insulin resistance at baseline, with a higher level of plasma insulin levels. This state gets further aggravated by the metabolic changes associated with pregnancy. The pancreas is unable to cope with the additional stress of increased insulin resistance. This results in an inadequate release of insulin and elevated blood sugar levels.[13]
