Maternal hyperglycemia induces alterations in hepatic amino acid, glucose and lipid metabolism of neonatal offspring: Multi-omics insights from a diabetic pig model

Intrauterine exposure to disturbed maternal glucose metabolism is associated with adverse consequences for the offspring. Hepatic disorders in affected offspring emerge in early development; thus, detection of disease biomarkers at an early stage may elucidate the underlying mechanisms of maternal hyperglycemia-induced metabolic disease and improve timely diagnosis and treatment strategies. To systematically study the molecular consequences of maternal hyperglycemia, we used data independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics and compared the molecular profiles of liver of three days old wild-type piglets born to a transgenic hyperglycemic pig model with those of wild-type piglets born to normoglycemic mothers.
