Animal models are widely used for studying diabetes in translational research. However, methods for induction of diabetes are conflicting with regards to their efficacy, reproducibility and cost. A comparison of outcomes between the diabetic models is still unknown, especially full-term pregnancy.To understand the comparison, we analyzed the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes at three life-different moments during the neonatal period in Sprague–Dawley female rats: at the first (D1), second (D2) and fifth (D5) day of postnatal life. At adulthood (90 days; D90), the animals were submitted to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for diabetic status confirmation. The diabetic and control rats were mated and sacrificed at full-term pregnancy for different analyses. Group D1 presented a higher mortality percentage after STZ administration than groups D2 and D5. All diabetic groups presented higher blood glucose levels as compared to those of the control group, while group D5 had higher levels of glycemia compared with other groups during OGTT. The diabetic groups showed impaired reproductive outcomes compared with the control group. Group D1 had lower percentages of mated rats and D5 showed a lower percentage of a full-term pregnancy. Besides that, these two groups also showed the highest percentages of inadequate fetal weight. In summary, although all groups fulfill the diagnosis criteria for diabetes in adult life, in our investigation diabetes induced on D5 presents lower costs and higher efficacy and reproducibility for studies involving diabetes-complicated pregnancy.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the changes in intracellular ionized calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) or [Ca2+]i sensitivity accompanying spontaneous and agonist-induced contraction of human myometrium at term pregnancy, as well as to quantify the response to three prototypical agonists: 1) oxytocin, 2) vasopressin, and 3) phenylephrine. Uterine biopsies were obtained at the time of cesarean section from patients who delivered at or near full-term gestation. These preparations were used to measure isometric force development and [Ca2+]i levels with the luminescent calcium indicator aequorin. Concentration-response relationships were determined with respect to isometric force development in the presence of the agonist. [Ca2+]i-force relationships were determined with respect to spontaneous phasic contractions, as well as agonist-induced phasic and tonic contractions. The results provide evidence that the phasic nature of term human myometrium is due to 1) the resting [Ca2+]i level being less than the calcium threshold for contractions and 2) the inability of the tissue to maintain high [Ca2+]i levels for prolonged periods of time. In addition, calcium-independent mechanisms of regulation were suggested by the relatively minor calcium sensitizing action of oxytocin and the observation that relaxation of tonic contractions preceded the fall in [Ca2+]i levels.

The aim of the present study was to determine the association between the maternal experience and changes in adiposity measured by BMI, percentage body fat (PBF) and waist:hip ratio (WHR). In a cross-sectional study, 203 women were recruited at health care and educational facilities in Brasilia, Brazil. These women were divided into three groups: fifty-three nulliparous (no full-term pregnancy); sixty-three primiparous (one full-term pregnancy); eighty-seven multiparous (two or more full-term pregnancies). Socio-economic, behavioural, reproductive and dietary data were collected. All the women were measured for weight, height, skinfold thicknesses and waist and hip circumferences. Analysis of covariance was used to measure the differences among the three groups in relation to BMI, PBF and WHR, controlling for the following covariates: age; socio-economic status; use of oral contraceptives; smoking; energy intake level; cooking oil intake; physical activity level; lactation score; parity. The three groups of women differed significantly for BMI (P=0·04), PBF (P=0·0008) and WHR (P=0·0001). Multiparous women presented higher BMI (P=0·01) and PBF (P=0·03) compared with primi- and nulliparous groups. PBF was also associated with age and high socio-economic status. Primi- and multiparous women showed a higher WHR than nulliparous women (P<0·0001). Age and smoking habit were also factors associated with higher WHR.
