How daily body clock changes affect blood flow measurements in pregnant women with gestational diabetes

Altered circadian rhythm gene expression may be linked to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

• Gestational diabetes mellitus is characterized by changes in circadian rhythm gene expression.
• Alterations in circadian rhythm could impact vascular regulation during pregnancy.
• The study explores potential effects on fetal blood flow as assessed by Doppler ultrasound.
• Circadian rhythm may influence the overall hemodynamic status of the fetus in GDM cases.
