Cover Story: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic complication of pregnancy, becoming a major health burden for both mothers and children. Studies have indicated that women with GDM have significantly distinct gut microbiota and gut metabolites compared to healthy pregnant women. The alerted gut microecology and related metabolites substantially impact inflammation, insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and energy accumulation. In turn, hyperglycemia, IR, compensatory hyperinsulinism, and obesity-related chronic inflammation in GDM patients can also damage the intestinal barrier, exacerbate the gut dysbiosis, and disrupt the profile of related metabolites. Hence, the gut–metabolism link plays a significant role in both the pathogenesis and progression of GDM. View this paper
