Placental peptides regulating islet adaptation to pregnancy: clinical potential in gestational diabetes mellitus.

In conclusion, current data support important roles for placental peptides interacting to support β-cells during pregnancy, however mechanisms involved in humans are unclear. Further work in humans is required, but placental peptides have clinical potential from both a diagnostic and therapeutic perspective. PMID: 30199758 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
