OLR1 and gestational diabetes: Figure 1A depicts the histological findings of the placenta of GDM women. Results revealed increasing syncytial knots and chorangiosis, indicating that the placenta may not be functioning properly in supporting the growing fetus. Besides, using immunohistochemistry staining, the expression of LOX-1 was increased 3.4-fold in GDM (Figure 1B,C).
