Abstract

Pregnancy triggers complex metabolic changes, particularly in glucose homeostasis. This vital adaptation, marked by physiological insulin resistance in the second and third trimesters, ensures an adequate glucose supply for the fetus. However, a failure of pancreatic beta-cell compensation can lead to Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), a significant obstetric complication. GDM shares pathophysiological similarities with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and poses substantial risks, including adverse perinatal outcomes (e.g., macrosomia and preeclampsia) and long-term consequences such as increased maternal T2D risk and offspring susceptibility to obesity via fetal programming. Despite these known impacts, GDM diagnosis remains challenging due to a lack of uniform diagnostic standards and often-delayed screening. This review, therefore, aims to comprehensively examine the physiological adaptations, factors influencing glucose dysregulation, and clinical implications of GDM. Furthermore, it evaluates current management strategies and identifies future research directions, emphasizing the crucial role of midwives in developing innovative, prevention-based approaches from preconception through the breastfeeding period to improve overall maternal and child health.

Abstract

Highlight: • AKT or protein kinase B increase protein synthesis and control the degradation of proteins. • Satellite cells was provided remarkable ability to regenerate skeletal muscle. • Stimulation of protein synthesis is effective therapy to maintain muscle mass, prevent muscle wasting to reduce risk sarcopenia and improve quality of life in the elderly. Abstract: Muscles have an important role as a regulator of glucose and triglyceride metabolism. Some researches show the correlation between skeletal muscle mass and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. Skeletal muscle mass decrease occurs due to chronic illness or physiological process of aging, thus increasing the risk of metabolic diseases as well as motion difficulty in the elderly. Skeletal muscle mass depends on balanced protein synthesis and degradation, controlled through a variety of signal transduction pathways including the AKT. AKT or protein kinase B increases protein synthesis through the mTOR and GSK3β and controls the degradation of proteins through FoxO transcription factors. Another factor that has an alleged role in the regulation of skeletal muscle is the satellite cells which provide remarkable ability to regenerate skeletal muscle. A comprehensive understanding of the biomolecular mechanism of muscle mass regulation is important to develop effective treatment or prevention of muscle atrophy in many cases, either caused by pathological conditions, such as chronic diseases, or the process of aging.
