چکیده
During the twentieth century, Norbert Freinkel studied hormones [2] and diabetes in the United States. Freinkel conducted many experiments that enabled him to determine the factors that influence hormones [2] of the thyroid gland and how those hormones [2] affect surrounding tissues. Furthermore, Freinkel studied gestational diabetes, which is diabetes that occurs for the first time during a woman?s pregnancy [3]. That type of diabetes is caused by a change in the way a woman?s body responds to insulin, a hormone [4] made in the body. Infants who are born from pregnant women with gestational diabetes can possess many different medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes, respiratory distress syndrome [5], and low blood sugar. Through his research on gestational diabetes, Freinkel found that all pregnant women go through metabolic changes, not just gestational diabetics.

These changes have been variously ascribed to effects of cortical steroids on the pituitary gland (1), the thyroid (10, 11) and the kidney (12, 13). Resolution of the precise...

Obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus continue to increase worldwide and span the spectrum of age, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Alarmingly, 1 in 10 infants and toddlers is obese, and 1 in 5 youths is both obese and at risk for metabolic syndrome prior to puberty. The mechanisms underlying how poor maternal health imparts risk for future metabolic disease in the offspring are b...
