In contrast, embryos originating from obese mice were significantly less sensitive to insulin; indeed, no difference was recorded in any tested variable between the embryos exposed to insulin and those cultured in insulin-free medium. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed a significant increase in the amount of insulin receptor transcripts in blastocysts recovered from obese dams. These results suggest that maternal obesity might modulate the mitogenic and antiapoptotic responses of preimplantation embryos to insulin. Diagnosis of heart fa
