1 Badji Mokhtar University, Department of Biology, Laboratory of Neuro-endocrinology Applied, BP 12, 23000, Annaba, AlgeriaDOI : 10.23893/1307-2080.APS.05807 Viewed : 15476 - Downloaded : 3951 This study was performed to investigate the consequences of severe maternal hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocin in Wistar rats on postnatal development of offspring. Besides, the ability of a ginger extract to restore glycemic balance in dams and prevent the appearance of disorders in offspring. Diabetes was induced in dams before pregnancy by a single injection of streptozotocin at a dose of 50 mg / kg. Ginger was orally administered from the fourteenth (14th) to the nineteenth (19th) day of pregnancy. Two tests before and after weaning were performed to monitor the offspring development. Our study clearly showed that treatment of diabetic pregnant rats with a ginger extract lowers blood glucose levels and help prevent disorders in offspring.
