Placental clues: do progesterone receptors influence gestational diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07750431
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether certain progesterone receptors in the placenta are linked to gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. Researchers will compare placental tissue from women with gestational diabetes to tissue from healthy pregnant women to see if the levels of these receptors differ. The goal is to better understand the biological mechanisms behind the condition, which could inform future research.
