Exercise During Pregnancy Reduces the Risk of Type-2 Diabetes in Offspring - ورزش مادر کاهش خطر دیابت در فرزند

A new study has demonstrated that maternal exercise during pregnancy improves the metabolic health of offspring, even when the mother is obese or on a high-fat diet. Physical exercise by the mother induces the placenta to secrete the key protein SOD3, resulting in a lowered risk of diabetes for the offspring. The findings in the paper identified the mechanisms behind this process.

The results were published in the Journal Diabetes.
