Abstract At high altitudes, chronic hypoxia challenges fetal growth leading to decreased birth weight which increases the perinatal mortality and morbidity and predisposes to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases later in life. On the other hand, also fetal macrosomia increases the risk for metabolic dysfunctions. Major causes of fetal macrosomia are gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and maternal overweight. GDM is a global problem affecting up to 30% of pregnancies and increasing morbidity of mothers and offspring. In cellular level, hypoxia response is mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a heterodimeric transcription factor regulating the transcription of over 300 genes targeting e.g., energy metabolism and erythropoiesis. In a...
