ESM1 and gestational diabetes: Due to our findings of differential ESM1 and TSPAN14 expression in SAT in GDM offspring only, we further investigated whether ESM1 and TSPAN14 expression in SAT was associated with clinical parameters of the O-GDM that differed from the O-BP (Table 1), and therefore focused on correlations between gene expression, and offspring diastolic blood pressure and glucose tolerance.
