Researchers say every effort must be made to encourage women to remain active throughout pregnancy - via healthing_ca healthing healthnews
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 is an autoimmune disease that usually develops in childhood in which the body attacks the pancreas, preventing it from producing its own insulin. Type 2 occurs when a person’s body either does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use this insulin properly. This form of the disease usually manifests in adulthood, and while it can sometimes be managed through diet and exercise, insulin therapy is often required.
More than 30 per cent of women of childbearing age in Western and Asian countries are considered obese, according to the study. Around 630 million people are expected to be living with diabetes by 2045. Researchers said that when pregnant women consume a diet that is high in fat, the expression of glucose metabolism genes in their offspring can be hindered. Maternal exercise reverses this effect by stimulating the production of SOD3 in the placenta. The team discovered this protective protein must be naturally produced as antioxidants capable of achieving similar results did not have the same effect as SOD3 when directly introduced to offspring.
With exercise providing a low-cost and effective method for increasing SOD3 levels and decreasing the risk of diabetes, researchers said every effort must be made to encourage women to remain active throughout pregnancy. Further study — including clinical tests — will be required to better understand the role SOD3 plays in the healthy development of human offspring.Mario Miceli lives with regret and guilt.
