Gestational diabetes during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of developmental abnormalities in offspring, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. It is not known how maternal metabolism and gut microbes influence kidney development in the fetus. Here we show that gestational diabetes alters maternal gut microbiota and reduces the production of key fatty acids that normally support kidney development in offspring. We find that these changes impair a molecular pathway involving ...[more]
