Spectroscopy Techniques for the Identification of Diagnostic Biomarkers for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Esposito Greco

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) poses significant health risks to both mothers and infants, necessitating effective diagnostic methods for early detection and management. Spectroscopy techniques have emerged as promising tools in the search for diagnostic biomarkers due to their non-invasive nature and ability to provide detailed molecular information. This article explores various spectroscopic methods such as infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, highlighting their applications in identifying biomarkers associated with GDM. Key advancements, challenges and future prospects in spectroscopic techniques for GDM diagnosis are discussed, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize prenatal care.
