Research Progress on the Association between Vitamin D Deficiency and the Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract：Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a state of glucose metabolism abnormality that occurs during pregnancy, and it is a specific metabolic disorder during pregnancy. Its main pathophysiological mechanism is the elevated levels of insulin antagonistic factors secreted by the placenta, leading to impaired compensatory function of pancreatic β-cells. As a high-risk complication of pregnancy, GDM can not only cause serious perinatal complications such as polyhydramnios, gestational hypertension, premature rupture of membranes, and preterm birth, but also have irreversible effects on maternal metabolic health and fetal developmental trajectory [1-2], and has been confirmed as an important independent risk factor for maternal and infant health.
