The mechanism of metformin, a "GDM treatment," is unclear, but it may inhibit mitochondrial complex I, reducing "mitochondrial respiration and ATP production." As previous studies examined the effect of metformin on cytotrophoblast but not syncytiotrophoblast (STB) we studied the effect on mitochondrial respiration in both male and female STB. 000008339 540__ $$fCC BY 000008339 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008339 650__ $$aDiabetes, Gestational$$029281 000008339 650__ $$aMetformin$$022128 000008339 650__ $$aMitochondria$$022348 000008339 650__ $$aPlacenta$$024210 000008339 650__ $$aDiabetes Mellitus, Type 2$$017675 000008339 650__ $$aPregnancy$$024523 000008339 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000008339 650__ $$aFetal Development$$035918 000008339 650__ $$aSex Characteristics$$025917 000008339 6531_ $$amitochondrial respiration 000008339 6531_ $$aa2gdm 000008339 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008339 692__ $$aDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology$$041432 000008339 7001_ $$aHebert, Jessica$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008339 7001_ $$aMyatt, Leslie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008339 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008339 8564_ $$92daec17e-d216-43d3-bb85-dce75bf3af96$$s47532$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8339/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Hebert.Jessica.pdf 000008339 905__ $$a/rest/prod/bg/25/7f/61/bg257f61t 000008339 980__ $$aResearch Week
