Term:
multigenerational maternal exposure to hyperglycemia
This is any condition in which the main influencing factor is any maternal exposure to hyperglycemia (blood glucose level > 180 mg/dl) that has multigenerational effects. This is a condition typically studied to determine the effect of maternal (F0) hyperglycemia exposure on the F1 offspring, but can also affect the F2 generation by direct effects on the germline of the gestating or preweaning F1 offspring. The maternal exposure may be any time before pregnancy (pregestational) up to the time of weaning of offspring.
