According to British media reported yesterday that a study conducted in mice showed taking drugs to reduce blood sugar levels gave birth to female mice likely much larger than the males, which may mean that women's diet may affect a child's gender.

The researchers called for female taking dexamethasone inhibited the glucose into the blood steroids, changing the female body's blood sugar levels. Female and male co-existence in allowing the first three days, scientists have for the 20 female drinking dexamethasone drug dissolved in water, after drinking water given to rats.

Taking the dexamethasone the rats, the average blood glucose dropped from 6.47 mmol 5.24 mmol. The researchers found that the control group 53% female cub born male, while taking dexamethasone in rat pups born to only 41% are male. How to reduce blood sugar lead to more female births remains unclear. However, the opposite seems to work. Involved in a previous study found that diabetic rats, with higher blood glucose levels of production of the male rodent offspring more than expected.

Lusimasi University College London, said: "It seems blood sugar levels can reflect the health of the mother is good." Dumas previously released a study shows that during the period of food scarcity, have more muscle mass of the mother is more may give birth to her son.
