Discussion

This review examines emerging contaminants’ role in gestational diabetes risk and highlights the need for mechanistic studies.

Emerging contaminants are linked to increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, affecting maternal metabolic health.
Key classes of emerging contaminants include PFAS, PCBs, PAEs, and bisphenols, with evidence connecting them to glucose dysregulation.
In vitro and in vivo studies reveal mechanisms like oxidative stress and insulin resistance that explain the effects of contaminants.
There is an urgent need for comprehensive exposure assessments and regulatory frameworks to address these environmental risks.

Wei et al. (2025) studied this question.
