Gestational diabetes mellitus and gut microbiota: microbial signatures across different fetal birth weight outcomes and their impact on maternal and neonatal health

GDM is associated with distinct gut microbiota profiles that vary with different fetal birth weight outcomes. These findings suggest that the gut microbiota may play a role in the pathogenesis of GDM and its associated adverse pregnancy outcomes. Further research is warranted to explore the potential of gut microbiota-based interventions for improving maternal and neonatal health in GDM.
