Abstract
AbstractMaternal diabetes can lead to pregnancy complications and impaired fetal development. The goal of this study was to use a mouse model of reciprocal embryo transfer to distinguish between the preconception and gestational effects of diabetes. To induce diabetes female mice were injected with a single high dose of streptozotocin and 3 weeks thereafter used as oocyte donors for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and as recipients for embryo transfer. Following IVF embryos were cultured to the blastocyst stage in vitro or transferred to diabetic and non-diabetic recipients. Diabetic and non-diabetic females did not differ in regard to the number of oocytes obtained after ovarian stimulation, oocytes ability to become fertilized, and embryo development in vitro. However, diabetic females displayed impaired responsiveness to superovulation. Reciprocal embryo transfer resulted in similar incidence of live fetuses and abortions, and no changes in placental size. However, fetuses carried by diabetic recipients were smaller compared to those carried by non-diabetic recipients, regardless hyperglycemia status of oocyte donors. Congenital abnormalities were observed only among the fetuses carried by diabetic recipients. The findings support that the diabetic status during pregnancy, and not the preconception effect of diabetes on oogenesis, leads to fetal growth restriction and congenital deformities.
