Abstract The placenta plays an important role in nutrient transport to maintain the growth and development of the
embryo. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the most common complication during pregnancy, highly affects
placental function in late gestation. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), a complex and heterogeneous group of
compounds engaged by the receptor for AGEs (RAGE), are closely associated with diabetes-related complications. In
this study, AGEs induced a decrease in the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins in BeWo cells and increased the
paracellular permeability of trophoblast cells by regulating RAGE/NF-κB. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats injected with
100 mg/kg… More >
