Objetivos: o diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) é considerado fator etiológico de diversas anomalias congênitas, incluindo as fissuras labiopalatinas (FLP). A produção de insulina, deficiente no DMG, é regulada para menos, no período noturno, pela melatonina, hormônio indutor do sono nos seres humanos. Especula-se que polimorfismos no gene que codifica o receptor 1B da melatonina levam a uma superprodução desses receptores e a uma produção menor ainda de insulina, desencadeando o diabetes mellitus. Frente a estas informações, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a prevalência dos polimorfismos rs10830963 e rs1387153 no gene que codifica o receptor 1B da melatonina em mães, com e sem DMG, e em seus filhos com e sem FLP. Buscou-se, também, determinar a associação entre a ocorrência do DMG e das FLPs e o uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, de medicamentos ingeridos durante a gestação, a presença de doenças sistêmicas e hipertensão arterial na gestação. Método: estudo do tipo caso-controle, composto por 200 mulheres e seus 200 filhos, divididos em quatro grupos: G1 (50 mães sem DMG e seus 50 filhos sem FLP), G2 (50 mães sem DMG e seus 50 filhos com FLP), G3 (50 mães com DMG e seus 50 filhos sem FLP) e G4 (50 mães com DMG e seus 50 filhos com FLP). Foram coletadas as amostras de saliva da mãe e do filho(a) para extração do DNA e genotipagem. Foram considerados como genes mutados os pares de base que continham os alelos de risco G e T para o polimorfismo rs10830963 e rs1387153, respectivamente. Para fins de comparação das frequências genotípicas observadas na presente amostra com as esperadas da população mundial, utilizou-se os dados contidos no site http://www.ensembl.org/index.html. Dados demográficos e de saúde gestacional tais como uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, uso de medicamentos com potencial teratogênico, presença de doenças sistêmicas, com ênfase para hipertensão arterial, foram coletados por meio de entrevista. Valores de p0,05 foram considerados significantes. Resultados: as porcentagens encontradas do polimorfismo rs10830963 em mães com DMG, 64% (G3) e 47% (G4), foram maiores do que as encontradas na população geral (43%) e nos grupos de mães sem DMG. Estes resultados, contudo, não foram considerados significantes. Ao se agrupar as mães sem DMG (G1+G2) e compararmos com as mães com DMG (G3+G4), observou-se que a prevalência do rs10830963 foi significantemente maior no segundo grupo (OR:2,08 / CI:1,18-3,66). Já, para o rs1387153, uma prevalência estatisticamente similar foi observada nos grupos de mães com e sem DMG e em relação às encontradas na população geral (OR:1,00 / CI:0,57-1,74). Detectou-se associação entre presença do DMG e hipertensão arterial, e, DMG e idade materna. Não se observou associação entre a DMG e demais variáveis. Da mesma forma, não se detectou associação entre FLP e qualquer uma das variáveis estudadas. Conclusões: o principal achado do presente estudo indica que a prevalência do polimorfismo rs10830963, na amostra estudada, é maior no grupo de mães diabéticas, o que confirma a hipótese inicial desta investigação. Este fato, contudo, parece não ter sido determinante para a ocorrência, em seus filhos, das fissuras labiopalatinas. / Objectives: gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is considered one of the etiologic factors of several congenital anomalies, including cleft lip and palate (CLP). Insulin production, deficient in DMG, is down regulated at night by melatonin, hormone that induces sleep in humans. It is speculated that polymorphisms in the gene encoding the melatonin 1B receptor lead to overproduction of these receptors and to a lower production of insulin, triggering diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of polymorphisms rs10830963 and rs1387153 in the gene coding for melatonin 1B receptor, in mothers with and without DMG and in their offspring, with and without CLP. The association between the occurrence of GDM and CLP and the use of licit and illicit drugs, drugs ingested during pregnancy, the presence of systemic diseases and arterial hypertension during pregnancy was also determined. Method: a case-control study of 200 women and their 200 children divided into four groups: G1 (50 mothers without GDM and 50 children without CLP), G2 (50 mothers without GDM and 50 children with CLP), G3 (50 mothers with DMG and their 50 children without CLP) and G4 (50 mothers with GDM and their 50 children with CLP). Samples of the saliva of the mother and the child were collected for DNA extraction and genotyping. The base pairs containing the G and T risk alleles for polymorphism rs10830963 and rs1387153, respectively, were considered as mutated genes. For the comparison of the genotypic frequencies observed in the present sample with those expected from the world population, the data contained at http://www.ensembl.org/index.html were used. Demographic and gestational health data such as the use of licit and illicit drugs, the use of drugs with teratogenic potential, and the presence of systemic diseases, with an emphasis on arterial hypertension, were collected through interviews. Values of p0.05 were considered significant. Results: the percentage of polymorphism rs10830963 observed in mothers with DMG, 64% (G3) and 47% (G4), were higher than those observed in the general population (43%) and in groups of mothers without DMG. These results, however, were not considered significant. When the mothers without DMG (G1+G2) and with (G3+G4) were grouped and compared, it was observed that the prevalence of rs10830963 was significantly higher in the second group (OR: 2.08 / CI: 1.18 -3.66). On the other hand, a statistically similar prevalence was observed for rs1387153 in the groups of mothers with and without DMG and in relation to those found in the general population (OR: 1.00 / CI: 0.57-1.74). An association between the presence of DMG and hypertension and between DMG and maternal age was detected. No association between GDM and other variables was observed. Likewise, there was no association between CLP and any of the studied variables. Conclusion: the main finding of the present study indicates that the prevalence of polymorphism rs10830963 in the sample studied is higher in the group of diabetic mothers, which confirms the initial hypothesis of the present investigation. This fact, however, does not seem to determine the occurrence of CLP their offspring.

L’obésité, problème majeur de santé publique, est en augmentation constante. Elle est responsable d’une altération de la sécrétion des adipokines, telles que l’apeline. L’apeline est impliquée dans diverses fonctions de l’organisme et notamment dans la régulation du métabolisme énergétique. Au cours de la grossesse, ce système semble avoir un rôle crucial dans le développement foeto-placentaire. Le système apelinergique chez la femme enceinte obèse n’a encore jamais été étudié. L’objectif de cette thèse était de vérifier si le système apelinergique est modifié en cas d’obésité chez la femme enceinte, tout d’abord par une approche expérimentale sur un modèle de souris obèse et insulino-résistante, puis par une approche translationnelle vers l’humain (étude OB-APE). Matériel et méthode : Modèle murin : 40 souris femelles ont été réparties en 2 groupes : Témoin (T, n=20) et High Fat (HF, n=20). Après 3 mois de régime, les souris étaient mises en reproduction. Des prélèvements étaient réalisés à E6.5, E12.5 et E18.5. Lors du sacrifice à E18.5, la glycémie à jeun, l’insulinémie, l’apelinémie maternelle et foetale étaient dosées, les souriceaux et les placentas étaient pesés. La moitié de chaque placenta était mis dans du RNA later et l’autre moitié était mis dans de l’azote liquide. Les prélèvements étaient conservés à -80°C. Etude chez l’humain (étude OB-APE) : Etude prospective et comparative menée au sein de la maternité Jeanne de Flandre (Lille, France) entre mai 2016 et juillet 2017. Les patientes inclues étaient réparties en 3 groupes: N (normal, n= 30), O (obèses, n = 30) et ODG (obèse avec diabète gestationnel, n = 30). Trois prélèvements plasmatiques maternels d’apeline étaient réalisés : entre 35 et 40 SA), à l’accouchement et au 2ème jour du post-partum, ainsi qu’un prélèvement néonatal au cordon ombilical. Des fragments placentaires étaient prélevés à l’accouchement et du colostrum était récupéré à J2 en post-partum. Les dosages de l’apeline dans le plasma et dans le colostrum étaient réalisés par ELISA. L’expression placentaire de l’apeline et d’APJ était étudiée par RT-PCR quantitative. La sécrétion placentaire était étudiée dans un milieu nutritif standard (DMEM) ainsi qu’en présence d’insuline (50nM) ou d’angiotensine II (AT2, 1nM). Résultats:Modèle murin : Après 3 mois de régime, les souris HF étaient obèses et intolérantes aux hydrates de carbone. Il n’y avait pas de différence d’apelinémie à jeun entre les souris T et HF hors gestation. Les placentas des souriceaux HF avaient un poids supérieur à ceux des portées T (P=0.006). Il y avait au cours de la gestation une diminution de l’apelinémie dans les 2 groupes en fin de gestation, de façon plus importante dans le groupe HF que dans le groupe Témoin (P =0.01). Chez les souris obèses, il y avait une augmentation de l’insulinorésistance en fin de gestation par rapport au groupe T (P<0.05). L’expression placentaire de l’apeline et d’APJ était augmentée dans les placentas de souris obèses. Etude chez l’humain (étude OB-APE) : L’apelinémie maternelle était diminuée dans les groupes O et ODG en comparaison avec le groupe N aux 3 temps de l’étude. L’apelinémie néonatale était également diminuée dans ces mêmes groupes. Les concentrations en apeline dans le colostrum étaient à l’inverse plus élevées dans les groupes O et ODG que dans le groupe N (P = 0,007 et P = 0,05 respectivement). Ex-vivo, la sécrétion placentaire était diminuée dans les groupes O et ODG en comparaison avec le groupe N. L’ajout d’insuline dans le milieu entrainait une augmentation de la sécrétion d’apeline, alors que l’ajout d’AT2 aboutissait à une diminution de cette sécrétion. L’expression placentaire de l’ARNm d’APJ était plus importante dans les placentas de femmes obèses que chez patientes d’IMC normal (N) [...] / Obesity is a major public health problem and is constantly increasing. Obesity alters the adipokines’ secretion, such as apeline. Apeline is involved in various functions, such as energy metabolism regulating. During pregnancy, the apelinergic system seems to be crucial for fetal development. The apelinergic system in obese pregnant women has never been studied before. The aim of this thesis was to verify whether the apelinergic system is modified in case of obesity in pregnant women, first by an experimental approach on an obese and insulin-resistant mouse model and then by a translational approach to the human (OB-APE study). Material and methods : Murine model: 40 female mice were divided into 2 groups: Control (C, n = 20) and High Fat (HF, n = 20). After 10 weeks of diet, mice were mated. Samples were taken at E6.5, E12.5 and E18.5. Mice were sacrificed by decapitation at E18.5 and blood samples were collected. Fetuses and placentas were collected after cesarean section and weighed. Fasting blood glucose, insulinaemia, maternal and fetal apelinemia were measured. At E18.5, blood samples of fetuses were collected and placentas were frozen and stored at -80°C. Human model (OB-APE study) : Prospective and comparative study conducted in Jeanne de Flandre maternity (Lille, France) between May 2016 and July 2017. Patients were divided into 3 groups: group N (normal, n=30), group O (obese, n=30) and group ODG (obese with diabetes mellitus, n=30). The maternal plasma samples were obtained at 3 different times: at the end of pregnancy (35-40 weeks of gestation), at delivery and at day 2 in postpartum, as well as a neonatal umbilical cord sampling. Placental fragments were collected at delivery and colostrum was recovered on day 2 in postpartum. The measures of apelin concentrations in plasma and colostrum were performed by ELISA. The placental expression of apelin and APJ was studied by quantitative RT-PCR. Placental secretion was studied in a standard nutrient medium (DMEM) as well as in presence of insulin (50nM) or angiotensin II (AT2, 1nM). Results: Murine model: After 3 months of diet, HF mice were obese and intolerant to carbohydrates. There was no significant difference in fasted apelinemia between non-pregnant T and HF mice. The placentas of HF mice were heavier than controls (P=0.006). There was an increase in apelinemia at E12.5 in the 2 groups (P<0.05), higher in the group HF (4.89 ± 1.18 ng/mL, vs 2.44 ± 0.42 ng/mL, P<0.001). In obese mice, there was an increase in insulin-resistance at the end of pregnancy compared to the group T (P<0.05). The placental expression of apelin and APJ was increased in obese mice. Human model (OB-APE study) : Maternal apelinemia was decreased in the O and ODG groups in comparison with the N group at the 3 times of the study. Neonatal apelinemia was also decreased in these groups. The apelin concentrations in colostrum were higher in the groups O and ODG than in the group N (P=0.007 and P=0.05 respectively). Ex-vivo, placental secretion of apelin was decreased in the groups O and ODG compared to the group N. The addition of insulin in the medium led to an increase in apelin secretion, whereas the addition of AT2 led to a diminution of this secretion. Placental expression of APJ mRNA was greater in placentas of obese women than in normal (N) patients [...]

Gestational diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for future diabetes, a condition largely preventable by healthy eating, increased physical activity and weight management. Postpartum women with young children face many barriers to adopting healthy lifestyle programs including time constraints, multiple commitments, tiredness and resuming work. Clearly, to prevent diabetes occurring health professionals need to understand how to help post-partum women adopt healthy lifestyles. Behaviour change occurs in five stages and matching healthy lifestyle information to stage of change can promote readiness to change. The aim of the current study was to identify whether a stage-matched intervention could promote diabetes risk reduction behaviours in a cohort of women with previous GDM in the Goulburn Murray catchment area. A total of 210 eligible women, identified from medical records as GDM in the past five years were invited to participate in a healthy lifestyle program incorporating stage-matched information reinforced with telephone contact or to receive routine information only. / Data were collected via a mailed health behaviour questionnaire incorporating validated tools; the Active Australia Survey, Stage of Change tool and Fat and Fibre questionnaire at baseline and post-intervention. At follow-up women answered a series of open-ended questions describing the promoters of and the barriers to behaviour change. Results were coded and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Version 14). Seventy-seven women (mean age 35 years) agreed to participate and were randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. Eighty-eight percent completed the six-month assessment. The attrition rate was similar in both groups. There was a positive trend towards increased readiness to be active (progression of one or more stages, p< 0.05) in the intervention group compared to standard information only. There was no difference between groups in progression of stage readiness to reduce fat intake or lose weight. Both groups increased the total amount of activity undertaken by approximately 60 minutes per week and the proportion of women meeting activity guidelines increased to a similar extent in each group. There was minimal difference between the groups for weight loss or reducing fat intake. The women stressed the importance of having a goal, especially a health goal, and strong social support as important promoters of health behaviour change. In contrast, low mood, emotional eating, tiredness, lack of time and support reduced the likelihood that behaviour change would occur. / Conclusion: It is possible to implement and meaningfully evaluate an intervention incorporating stage-matched information and regular telephone reminder calls for women with a history of GDM. Despite the small sample size, this intervention can increase readiness to be more active compared to routine health promotion information. However, the intervention was unable to produce any difference between the groups in engagement in any of the diabetes risk reduction behaviours measured. Further research is needed to explore these findings in a larger population, such as with a multi-centre study. The intervention should be enhanced with strategies to address social support, post-natal depression, self-efficacy for behaviour change, mood and emotional eating.

Während der Schwangerschaft vollziehen sich im Körper der Frau verschiedene Adaptionsmechanismen, um eine bestmögliche Versorgung für das heranwachsende Kind zu gewährleisten. Bei fortschreitender Gravidität entwickelt sich eine physiologische Insulinresistenz. Gelingt es den maternalen Betazellen des Pankreas‘ nicht, diese zu kompensieren, kann eine diabetische Stoffwechsellage bis hin zur Ausbildung eines Gestationsdiabetes (GDM) entstehen. Adipozytokine beeinflussen direkt lokale und periphere metabolische, endokrinologische sowie immunologische Prozesse. Inwieweit sie in der Gravidität eine Rolle spielen, ist bislang nicht hinreichend geklärt. In verschiedenen Studien wurde eine Beziehung zwischen den Fettgewebshormonen und der Glukosetoleranz in der Schwangerschaft nachgewiesen. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation sollte eine Analyse zur Glukosetoleranz und zu Adipozytokinserumspiegeln bei Frauen unmittelbar nach der Entbindung vorgenommen werden. Ergebnisse oraler Glukosetoleranztests von gesunden Frauen 24 Stunden postpartal (n=65) wurden mit denen einer nicht-schwangeren, gesunden Kohorte (n=30) verglichen. Maternale und neonatale anthropometrische Daten wurden in Zusammenhang zu Adipozytokinen gestellt. Im Vergleich zu Frauen mit normaler Glukosetoleranz (NGT) postpartal konnten in dieser Studie signifikant verminderte Blutglukose – sowie nüchtern – Proinsulinspiegel in der nicht-schwangeren Kontrollgruppe nachgewiesen werden, wohingegen die nüchtern-C-Peptidspiegel erhöht waren. Weiterhin zeigten sich postpartal signifikant niedrigere Adiponektin-, aber höhere sOB-R- (soluble leptin receptor) sowie Leptinspiegel der NGT-Mütter im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe. Zusätzlich konnte eine Beziehung zwischen Adipozytokinserumspiegeln und Parametern der Glukosetoleranz bzw. Adipositas demonstriert werden. Daraus lässt sich die These ableiten, dass Frauen in der frühen Phase nach der Entbindung ähnliche biochemische Konstellationen wie beim metabolischen Syndrom, der gestörten Glukosetoleranz oder bei Störungen des Adipozytokinsystems aufweisen.

Substantial evidence supports a role of diet in glucose metabolism, but only a few reports have investigated the impact of diet during pregnancy on risk of gestational diabetes (GDM). Although metabolic hormones have been detected in milk, no studies have investigated the impact of maternal metabolic status assessed during pregnancy on insulin and adiponectin concentrations in human milk. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the association of maternal macronutrient intakes with metabolic status during pregnancy and its subsequent impact on human milk hormones. Participating women (n=216) underwent a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test at 30 (95% confidence interval [CI] 25, 33) weeks gestation, recalled their second trimester dietary intake, and donated early (the first week) and mature (3 months postpartum) milk. Higher vegetable and fruit fiber intake was associated with reduced insulin resistance (beta±SE -0.100±0.029, p=0.0008) and increased insulin sensitivity (0.029±0.012, p=0.01) among those with a family history of type 2 diabetes. Lower % carbohydrate and higher % total fat were associated with increased GDM risk (odds ratio 0.60 [95% CI 0.40, 0.90] and 1.61 [1.06, 2.44], respectively). Prenatal metabolic abnormalities including higher pregravid body mass index (beta±SE 0.053±0.014, p=0.0003), in addition to gravid hyperglycemia (0.218±0.087, p=0.01), insulin resistance (0.255±0.047, p<0.0001), lower insulin sensitivity (-0.521±0.108, p<0.0001), and higher serum adiponectin (0.116±0.029, p<0.0001) were associated with higher insulin in mature milk. Obstetrical measures including nulliparity (0.171±0.058, p=0.004), longer duration of gestation (0.546±0.146, p=0.0002), and unscheduled caesarean section (0.387±0.162, p=0.02) were associated with higher adiponectin in early milk. Holder pasteurization, a process recommended by the Human Milk Bank Association of North America before distributing human donor milk, reduced milk adiponectin and insulin concentrations by 32.8% and 46.1%, respectively (both p<0.0001). In conclusion, the distribution of macronutrient intakes during pregnancy was associated with risk for abnormal glucose metabolism later in pregnancy. In addition, maternal prenatal metabolic abnormalities were associated with high insulin concentrations in mature milk, while only obstetrical parameters were associated adiponectin concentrations in early milk. Our findings support the need for continued work to determine optimal prenatal nutritional strategies to prevent GDM and subsequently to improve infant nutrition.

Introdução: O exercício físico como parte do tratamento do diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) pode ajudar na manutenção das concentrações da glicemia de jejum. Objetivos: Conduzir uma revisão sistemática, com metanálise de ensaios clínicos randomizados, para avaliar o efeito do exercício supervisionado e estruturado ou o efeito do aconselhamento de atividade física, em mulheres com DMG, e comparar ao pré-natal usual para o controle da glicemia. Métodos: Os estudos elegíveis foram identificados a partir das bases de dados MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus e SportDiscus até 4 de Junho de 2015. Os dados foram extraídos de ensaios clínicos randomizados que compararam o pré-natal usual ao pré-natal usual somado ao exercício supervisionado e estruturado (pelo menos uma vez na semana) ou ao aconselhamento de atividade física, pelas quais os valores de glicemia de jejum pré e pós-intervenção estavam disponíveis. A metanálise de efeitos randômicos foi conduzida para a diferença entre as médias pós-intervenção da glicemia de jejum. Resultados: Foram encontradas 664 publicações, nas quais 82 foram avaliadas pela elegibilidade e oito foram incluídas na análise final. O efeito total do exercício nas concentrações absolutas da glicemia de jejum não foi significativamente diferente (P = 0,11) comparado ao pré-natal usual. Entretanto, o aconselhamento de atividade física comparado ao pré-natal usual demonstrou uma redução significativa nas concentrações da glicemia de jejum (diferença da média ponderada -3,88 mg/dL, 95% CI-7,33 a -0,42; I2, 48%; P para heterogeneidade < 0,15). Conclusão: O exercício supervisionado ou o aconselhamento de atividade física em mulheres com DMG não foi significativamente diferente comparado ao pré-natal usual nas concentrações de glicemia de jejum. Visto que o pré-natal usual inclui algum tipo de recomendação de atividade física, estes resultados não são surpreendentes. O aconselhamento de atividade física com o pré-natal usual inclui modificações da dieta que podem motivar as mulheres com DMG a serem mais ativas e aderentes ao aconselhamento nutricional, enquanto que o exercício estruturado pode ser mais difícil de atingir. / Background: Exercise as part of the treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may help maintain fasting glucose concentrations. Objective: A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of weekly-supervised exercise or physical activity (PA) counseling in GDM women compared to standard care (SC) on glycemic control. Methods: Eligible trials were identified from MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus and SportDiscus up to 4 June 2015. Data were retrieved from randomized controlled trials comparing SC with SC plus weekly-supervised (at least once a week) prenatal exercise or PA counseling for which fasting blood glucose (FBG) values pre and post intervention were available. Random-effects meta-analysis was conducted for mean difference in FBG post exercise intervention. Results: Our search yielded 664 publications of which 82 were assessed for eligibility. Eight were analyzed and all were included in the meta-analysis. The overall effect of exercise on absolute FBG concentrations was not different (P=0.11) compared to SC. However, PA counseling versus SC showed a significant reduction in the absolute FBG concentrations (weighted mean difference -3.88 mg/dL, 95% CI-7.33 to -0.42; I2, 48%; P for heterogeneity<0.15). Conclusions: Supervised exercise or PA counseling in GDM women was not significantly different compared to SC on FBG concentrations. Since SC includes some type of PA recommendation, these results are not surprising. PA counseling with SC including dietary modifications may help motivate GDM women to be more active and adherent to nutrition advice, while structured exercise may be more difficult to achieve.

Diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) é uma condição cada vez mais frequente na população, uma vez que os novos critérios adotados consideram menores valores de glicemia para diagnóstico e cada vez mais mulheres iniciam a gestação com excesso de peso, fator de risco para DMG. Cerca de 50% das mulheres que tiveram DMG irão desenvolver diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) entre 5 e 10 anos após o parto. Uma das intervenções utilizada para prevenção do DM2 é o aleitamento materno (AM). Entretanto, são escassas as informações sobre AM em mulheres que tiveram DMG. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o aleitamento materno em mulheres que tiveram diabetes gestacional e os fatores associados à não iniciação. Trata-se de um estudo de coorte, com dados da linha de base e seguimento de um estudo maior, LINDA-Brasil, realizado nas cidades de Porto Alegre (RS), Pelotas (RS) e Fortaleza (CE), de março de 2013 a dezembro de 2016. Gestantes com DMG foram arroladas em serviços de pré-natal de alto risco. Foram coletados dados demográficos, sócio-econômicos, de estilo de vida e contato. O seguimento foi realizado por ligações telefônicas e foram coletadas informações do parto, dados do recém-nascido e amamentação. Essas ligações foram realizadas um mês após o recrutamento e dois meses após o parto. A descrição dos dados foi apresentada através de frequências relativas e absolutas ou média e desvio padrão. Análise de Regressão de Poisson foi utilizada para estimar o risco relativo de não ter iniciado aleitamento materno. Todas as participantes assinaram termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. Foram incluídas 2523 mulheres. A média de idade foi 31,3 (±6,3) anos, sendo a maioria branca (49,5%), com ensino médio completo (38,3%) e renda entre 1 e 2 salários mínimos (39,9%). Não ter amamentado o último bebê (RR = 3,82; IC95%: 1,86 – 7,84), fumo durante a gestação (RR = 2,09; IC95%: 1,17 – 3,75), bebê com problemas ao nascer (RR = 3,11; IC95%: 1,90 – 5,12), prematuridade (RR = 1,60; IC95%: 1,09 – 2,57), consumo de bebidas adoçadas (RR = 1,10; IC95%: 1,02 – 1,19) e não ter intenção de amamentar o bebê (RR = 4,75; IC95%: 1,92 – 11,72) foram relacionadas à não iniciação ao aleitamento materno. Experiências anteriores, problemas com o bebê e comportamento materno, como fumo na gestação, consumo de bebidas adoçadas e não ter intenção de amamentar são fatores associados à não iniciação ao aleitamento materno em mulheres que tiveram diabetes mellitus gestacional. / Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly frequent condition in the population, since the new criteria adopted consider lower values of glycemia for diagnosis, and more and more women are starting gestation with excess weight, a risk factor for GDM. About 50% of women who have GDM will develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) between 5 and 10 years after giving birth. One of the interventions used to prevent DM2 is breastfeeding. However, there is little information on AM in women who have GDM. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate breastfeeding in women who had gestational diabetes and factors associated with non-initiation. This is a cohort study, with baseline data and follow-up of a larger study, LINDA-Brasil, conducted in the cities of Porto Alegre (RS), Pelotas (RS) and Fortaleza (CE), March 2013 To December 2016. Pregnant women with DMG were enrolled in high-risk prenatal services. Demographic, socio-economic, lifestyle and contact data were collected. Follow-up was performed by telephone calls and information was collected on birth, newborn data and breastfeeding. These calls were made one month after enrollment and 2 months after delivery. The data description was presented through relative and absolute frequencies or mean and standard deviation. Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the relative risk of not having started breastfeeding. All participants signed a free and informed consent form. A total of 2523 women were included. The mean age was 31.3 (± 6.3) years, the majority of whom were white (49.5%), with a high school education (38.3%) and income between 1 and 2 minimum wages (39.9% ). Not having breastfed the last baby (RR = 3.82, 95% CI: 1.86 - 7.84), smoking during pregnancy (RR = 2.09, 95% CI: 1.17 - 3.75), baby with (RR = 3.11, 95% CI: 1.90 - 5.12), prematurity (RR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.57), consumption of sweetened beverages (RR = 1 , 10; 95% CI: 1.02 - 1.19) and did not intend to breastfeed the baby (RR = 4.75, 95% CI: 1.92 - 11.72) were related to non - initiation to breastfeeding. Previous experiences, problems with the baby and maternal behavior, such as smoking during pregnancy, consumption of sweetened beverages and no intention to breastfeed are factors associated with not initiating breastfeeding in women who have had gestational diabetes mellitus.

A resistência à insulina pode ser decorrente do aumento progressivo da concentração plasmática dos hormônios placentários progesterona, estrógenos, somatomamotropina coriônico humano e do hormônio de crescimento placentário e do hormônio hipofisário prolactina. O cortisol, que também apresenta concentração plasmática aumentada no terceiro trimestre gestacional, estimula a gliconeogênese hepática e inibe a capitação de glicose mediada pela insulina no músculo esquelético e tecido adiposo. Esse aumento de cortisol pode ser intensificado por fatores emocionais típicos das transformações que a gravidez produz, além do estresse cada vez mais exacerbado pela vida moderna, podendo promover a resistência insulínica. A doença periodontal, considerada a segunda patologia bucal mais prevalente no mundo, pode ser agravada na gravidez, devido às alterações hormonais. Objetivando avaliar se a doença periodontal, associada ao aumento de cortisol, pode alterar a sensibilidade à insulina, foi feito um estudo com 96 gestantes usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde, em um município do interior paulista. Trata-se de um estudo caso-controle, com abordagem quali-quantitativa, em que as pacientes foram divididas em 3 grupos: periodonto saudável, gengivite e periodontite. Após análise estatística feita por análise de variância e teste de Turkey, verificou-se que o grupo com periodontite apresentou aumento significativo da glicemia, insulinemia, resistência à insulina e nível de estresse percebido quando comparado ao grupo de pacientes com periodonto saudável e gengivite. A detecção de fatores que possam contribuir para a resistência insulínica é de suma importância, pois uma alteração na homeostase glicêmica pode configurar agravos materno-fetais, tais como maturação pulmonar tardia ou macrossomia fetal. / Gestational diabetes mellitus, characterized in hormonal and metabolic changes that result in glucose intolerance during the second half of pregnancy may result from alterations in cellular resistance to insulin. Insulin resistance may be due to the progressive increase in the plasma concentration of placental hormone progesterone, estrogens, somatomammotropin human chorionic and placental growth hormone and pituitary hormone prolactin. Cortisol, which also features plasma concentration increased in the third trimester stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis and inhibits the pickup of glucose mediated by insulin in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. This increase in cortisol can be enhanced by typical emotional factors of the changes that pregnancy produces, in addition to stress increasingly exacerbated by modern life, and may promote insulin resistance. Periodontal disease, considered the second most prevalent oral disease in the world, can be exacerbated in pregnancy due to hormonal changes. To evaluate whether periodontal disease, associated with increased cortisol can alter insulin sensitivity, it was made a study of 96 pregnant women users of the Unified Health System, in a city of São Paulo. It is a case-control study, with qualitative and quantitative approach, in which patients were divided into 3 groups: healthy periodontal, gingivitis and periodontitis. After statistical analysis by ANOVA and Tukey's test, it was found that the group with periodontitis had significantly increased blood glucose, insulin, insulin resistance and perceived stress level when compared to the group of patients with gingivitis and periodontal health. The detection of factors that may contribute to insulin resistance is of paramount importance because a change in glucose homeostasis can configure maternal-fetal diseases such as lung maturation or late fetal macrosomia.
