AbstractPregnancy and labor are dynamic processes involving various rapid biological changes. Previous studies found that during pregnancy there are gradual alterations in immune and metabolic pathways. In contrast, changes linked to labor are less well-known, generally limited to reports on specific differentially expressed genes, lacking a more comprehensive overview of changes of the overall signalling landscapes. Moreover, most previous works were standalone, based on individual organs.

AbstractObjectives: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common pregnancy-related medical complication. It is characterized by the development of hyperglycaemia during pregnancy and is known to lead to higher risk of metabolic disorders and other pathologies in both mothers and offsprings. Some studies probed the impacts of GDM, focusing on specific organs like placenta or adipose tissue, but so far, a systematic overview is lacking.
