| Abstract | Diabetes during pregnancy impairs brain development in offspring, leading to behavioral problems, motor dysfunction and learning deficits. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are important regulators of developmental and cognitive functions in the central nervous system. Aim of the present study was to examine the effects of maternal diabetes on insulin receptor (InsR) and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression in the developing rat cerebellum. Wistar female rats were maintained diabetic from a week before pregnancy through parturition and male offspring was killed at P0, P7, and P14, an active neurogenesis period in brain development equivalent to the third trimester in human. The expression of InsR and IGF-1R in cerebelli was evaluated using real-time PCR and western blot analysis. We found a significant upregulation of both IGF-1R and InsR transcripts in cerebellum of pups born to diabetic mothers at P0, compared to controls. However, at the same time point, the results of western blot analysis revealed only a slight change in their protein levels. In contrast to InsR, which does not show any difference, there was a markedly reduction in cerebellar expression of IGF-1R mRNA and protein level in the diabetic group of newborns at P7. Moreover, 2 weeks after birth, mRNA expression and protein levels of both InsR and IGF-1R in cerebellum of the diabetic group was significantly downregulated. Compared to controls, we did not find any difference in cerebellar InsR or IGF-1R mRNA and protein levels in the insulin treated group. The present study revealed that diabetes during pregnancy strongly influences the regulation of both InsR and IGF-1R in the developing cerebellum. Furthermore, optimal maternal glycaemia control by insulin administration normalized these effects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
