Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance that is first diagnosed during pregnancy, a condition risking the health of both the mother and the baby. Naringenin (NGN) has been demonstrated to have multiple therapeutic functions, while it is also considered to exhibit antidiabetic properties. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of NGN in pregnant diabetic rats.
