To determine the onset of accelerated starvation during short-term dietary deprivation and evaluate the metabolic safety of caloric restriction in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes.
Conducted a tightly monitored metabolic evaluation of dietary deprivation in pregnant women within a Clinical Research Center setting.
Tracked catabolic markers across 14 to 18 hours of fasting in women with gestational diabetes mellitus compared to normal pregnancy.
Manifestations of accelerated starvation emerged consistently between 14 and 18 hours of dietary deprivation.
Women with gestational diabetes mellitus displayed the same timeline and degree of accelerated starvation as healthy pregnant controls, without evidence of increased susceptibility to uncontrolled catabolism.
