INS and gestational diabetes: Emerging evidence highlights the role of oxidative stress, which is capable of interfering with insulin secretion and glucose metabolism, as a significant player in the pathogenesis of GDM.[6,7] Studies have shown a heightened presence of oxidative stress biomarkers, such as markers of DNA damage and lipid peroxidation products, in the blood of women diagnosed with GDM.[8,9] This evidence implicates the potential utility of antioxidants in mitigating the risk of GDM, thereby directing attention towards dietary sources of antioxidants as part of a GDM prevention strategy.
