Abstract
The impact of diabetic pregnancy has been investigated extensively regarding offspring metabolism; however, little is known about the influence on the heart. We aimed to characterise the effects of a diabetic pregnancy on male adult offspring cardiac health after feeding a high-fat diet in an established transgenic rat model.We applied our rat model for maternal type 2 diabetes characterised by maternal insulin resistance with hyperglycaemia and...
