Really delighted to see our latest work on Visceral Adiposity in GDM published in JCEM @TheEndoSociety doi.org/10.1210/clinem/dgad6… In this study we identified that insulin resistance in GDM was associated with a reduction in adipocytes in visceral tissue

We also showed that the placenta was not mediating this effect on visceral adipocytes in GDM. Huge team effort led by Colm with great help from @MedHealthSciUCC undergrads Isaac and Annie and others. @mccarthyfergus @PharmacologyUcc @hrbireland
