Does maternal hypoglycemia during screening glucose assessment identify a pregnancy at-risk for adverse perinatal outcome?
Admission to SCN/NICU is increased in pregnant women with hypoglycemia following a GCT.
These findings strongly suggest that glial cells are extrinsically activated by ecdysone-stimulated MB neurons. These glial cells infiltrate the mass of axon branches to eliminate varicosities and break down axon branches actively rather than just scavenging already-degraded debris. We therefore propose that neuron-glia interaction is essential for the precisely coordinated axon-pruning process during Drosophila metamorphosis.
