Extracellular vesicles are dynamic regulators of maternal glucose homeostasis during pregnancy
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 13(1).
MeSH headings : Pregnancy; Female; Animals; Mice; Placenta / metabolism; Extracellular Vesicles / metabolism; Fetus; Glucose / metabolism; Homeostasis
TL;DR:
An intravenous elevation in EVs, matching the concentration of EVs during pregnancy, shifted non-pregnant female glucose sensitivity, blunted glucose variance, and improved synchrony of glucose uptake, suggest an important and novel role for circulating EVs as homeostatic regulators important in maternal health during pregnancy.
