Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate distribution of circulating adiponectin (AdipoQ) isoforms at pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and comparison analysis of isoform distribution changes 12 months after delivery.Design: The study was conducted on 64 pregnant women who underwent routine pre-natal tests for GDM between 24 and 28 week of gestation and 30 of them 12 months after delivery. The study group included 36 women di...

Introduction: Adiponectin (AdipoQ) is a known insulinsensitizing adipokine which is also present in fetal circulation. It has been postulated to play a role in the regulation of fetal growth and development together with other adipokines. The aim of the study was to determine fetal adiponectin and find its correlations with the neonatal birthweight and maternal AdipoQ.Patients and methods: The study included 36 women with singleton pregnancy (20 diagnose...

Background and aims: The subclinical inflammation connected with hypoadiponectinaemia and inflammatory pattern may favor the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods: In total, 66 pregnant women were enrolled in the study during systematic testing for GDM between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation. GDM was diagnosed in 42 cases, 24 were normal glucose tolerant control group (NGT). In blood serum concentration of glucose, insulin, adiponectin ...
