Abstract:

Gut microbiota is a general term for all microorganisms and their genes that are colonized in human intestine. In recent years,studies have found that the changes in gut microbiota are related to the development of gestational obesity and diabetes mellitus. The changes in gut microbiota may affect the occurrence and development of related diseases by affecting certain metabolic mechanisms. However,the specific molecular biological mechanisms have not been thoroughly studied. Therefore,this review focuses on the role of gut microbiota in gestational obesity and diabetes mellitus.

Key words: Gut microbiota, Gestational obesity, Gestational diabetes mellitus
