Podcast: Using metabolomics to understand gestational diabetes
This KP Research Radio podcast explores the use of metabolomics to predict who will get gestational diabetes, and why.
In utero metabolomic signatures of refined grains intake and risk of gestational diabetes: A metabolome-wide association study
Epidemiologic evidence has linked refined grain intake to a higher risk of gestational diabetes (GDM), but the biological underpinnings remain unclear. We aimed to identify and validate refined grain-related metabolomic biomarkers for GDM risk. In a metabolome-wide association study of…
Associations between Glycemic Control Trajectories among Individuals with Gestational Diabetes and Obesity Risk and Growth Trajectories in the Offspring
The study will examine the association between glycemic control trajectories among individuals with gestational diabetes (GDM) included in the GDM registry and the risk of childhood obesity and growth trajectories in the offspring. Glycemic control trajectories provide unique insights into…
Early control of blood sugar key for gestational diabetes
Pregnant patients treated for gestational diabetes had better birth outcomes if they rapidly improved their blood sugar levels soon after diagnosis rather than having slow or no improvement, according to new research from Kaiser Permanente.
Glycemic Control Trajectories and Risk of Perinatal Complications Among Individuals With Gestational Diabetes
Glycemic control is the cornerstone of gestational diabetes management. Glycemic control trajectories account for differences in longitudinal patterns throughout pregnancy; however, studies on glycemic control trajectories are scarce. To examine whether glycemic control trajectories from gestational diabetes diagnosis to delivery…
Longitudinal Associations of Plasma Phospholipid Fatty Acids in Pregnancy with Neonatal Anthropometry: Results from the NICHD Fetal Growth Studies-Singleton Cohort
Despite increasing interest in the health effects of polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs), their roles in fetal and neonatal growth remain understudied. Within the NICHD Fetal Growth Studies-Singleton Cohort, we prospectively investigated the associations of individual and subclasses of plasma phospholipid PUFAs…
Diverse new class of postdoctoral fellows adds to research strength
The Kaiser Permanente Division of Research postdoctoral research program drew one of its largest-ever classes of fellows this year, building the strength of DOR's research portfolio. Seven fellows cover fields from diet to dementia, cancer to clinical informatics, to women's and children's health, and more.
