Blood vessel health after pregnancy with diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessels work in women who had a healthy pregnancy or gestational diabetes. It tests if a substance called ET-1 affects blood vessel function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Had a baby within the last 5 years
- Either had a healthy pregnancy or were diagnosed with gestational diabetes
- Not currently smoking or using e-cigarettes

This early-stage study looks at how “oxidative stress” (cell damage from stress molecules) may affect small blood vessels after pregnancy, especially in people who had gestational diabetes. The goal is to better understand what’s going on and whether these changes could be linked to future health risks.
This early study tests whether metformin can improve how small blood vessels work after gestational diabetes (pregnancy diabetes). It may help some people who feel long-term effects after delivery by improving blood-vessel-related function.
This study looks at how the body processes sugar and nutrients during pregnancy in women at higher risk for pre-eclampsia (a serious pregnancy condition with high blood pressure). Researchers want to understand if taking low-dose aspirin helps protect heart and metabolic health. You'll have blood tests, body composition scans, and metabolic measurements.
This early study looks at how taking aspirin (or not) affects how well blood vessels work after pregnancy. It may help researchers understand differences in vascular health after normal pregnancies versus preeclampsia (a pregnancy blood pressure complication).
This study looks at how gestational diabetes might affect blood flow to the brain after pregnancy. If you had gestational diabetes or a healthy pregnancy, you may be able to help researchers understand long-term effects.
This study looks at whether antidepressant medication can help improve blood vessel health in women who have had preeclampsia or a normal pregnancy. It may help lower future heart risks.
