An oral glucose tolerance test in pregnancy and its association with future cardiovascular diseases
Abstract Aims/hypothesis Gestational diabetes and abnormal 100‐g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results in pregnancy are associated with type 2 diabetes, but their relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is less clear. We evaluated the risk of CVD according to the number of abnormal OGTT values during pregnancy.

Pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis of macrophages occur concurrently during atherosclerosis. Galetein‐3 and NLRP3 are highly expressed in atherosclerotic lesions. Galectin‐3 is principally expressed in macrophages within atherosclerotic plaques. Galectin‐3 interacts with NLRP3, activates TLR4/MyD88/NF‐κB/NLRP3 signal axis, and promotes PANoptosis ...
