Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increasingly affects women and predisposes both mothers and their infants to short- and long-term health consequences. Emerging research links GDM to maternal gut microbiota dysbiosis. However, the impact of GDM on the infant gut microbiota remains unclear. This cross-sectional study aims to explore potential associations between GDM and the gut microbiota in mothers and their infants, as well as correlations between maternal diet, cardiometabolic profile, and gut microbiota composition. METHODS: Gut microbiota taxonomic composition was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing on fecal samples collected at 2 months postpartum from 28 mothers, including 17 with (GDM+) and 11 without (GDM-) GDM, as well as 30 infants, 17 GDM + and 13 GDM-. Variations in overall composition and specific taxa between GDM + and GDM- were assessed. Correlations between maternal cardiometabolic profile, dietary intakes, and taxa were performed. RESULTS: GDM was associated with the overall composition of gut microbiota between GDM + and GDM- in the maternal group, but not in infants. No statistically significant difference in alpha diversity between groups was found in either mothers or infants. However, 14 taxa showed significantly different abundance between GDM + and GDM- mothers, and 4 taxa differed in infants. Specific taxa at the family rank were correlated with maternal dietary and cardiometabolic variables in both mothers and infants. CONCLUSIONS: GDM exposition was associated with gut microbiota composition in both mothers and infants at two months postpartum. This study enhances our understanding of how maternal health could be linked with the gut microbiota of mothers and their infants.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
