ASSESSMENT OF THE MORPHOLOGICAL STATE OF THE SMALL INTESTINE OF OFFSPRING BORN FROM MOTHERS WITH DIABETES

Abstract

Maternal diabetes mellitus negatively affects the morphological state of the vascular-tissue structures of the small intestine of the offspring in the early stages of postnatal development, causing reactive and dystrophic changes in them. At the basis of these pathomorphological changes, the leading role is played by morphofunctional disorders of the intraorgan vascular bed of the small intestine. These dystrophic and trophic disorders in the vascular tissue structures subsequently lead to the persistence of postnatal growth, development and formation of the small intestine.
