Filter by:Background: Limited studies have explored the difference of fatty acid profile between women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and the results were inconsistent. Individual fatty acids tend to be interrelated because of the shared food sources and metabolic pathways. Thus, whether fatty acid patters during pregnancy were related to GDM odds needs further exploration. Objective: We aim to identify plasma fatty acid patters during pregnancy and their associations with odds of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Design: A hospital-based case-control study was carried out in urban Wuhan, China from August 2012 to April 2015. Pregnant women who screened for GDM at the outpatient clinics of the Department of Endocrinology, Tongji Hospital were invited to participant in the study. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) age ≥ 20 years; 2) gestational age at GDM screening ≥ 24 weeks; 3) singleton pregnancy. We excluded women who met any of the following items: history of diabetes (including but not limited to GDM), cardiovascular disease, cancer or other systemic diseases; pharmacologic treatment or dietary supplement use that might influence glucose or lipids metabolism; accompanied by other pregnancy complications; blood sample hemolysis or insufficiency; incomplete basic information. The diagnosis of GDM can be made if one or more glucose values are above the cut points of 5.1, 10.0 and 8.5 mmol/L at fasting, 1 and 2 h during a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Controls were randomly selected and individually matched to cases by age (± 2 years), gestational age (± 2 weeks) and parity. Finally, 217 GDM cases and 217 matched controls were selected in this study. All participants gave written informed consent before enrolling in the study. Fasting blood samples (≥ 8 h overnight fasting) were collected using anticoagulant tubes and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min. Plasma were separated from blood cells and stored at -80 ℃ for further assay. We measured plasma concentrations of fatty acids by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry, and derived potential fatty acid patterns trough principle components analysis. Conditional logistic regression and restricted cubic spline model were used to evaluate the associations between individual fatty acids or fatty acid patterns and odds of GDM.
This prospective nested case-control study aims to examine the effects of blood vitamin B levels in first-trimester pregnant women on the pregnancy outcomes
Research hypothesis: - pregnant women with gestational diabetes have elevated serum CRP values and homocysteine compared to pregnant women with normal glucose metabolism - Elevated CRP and homocysteine values are associated with poorer perinatal outcome. - reduced concentrations of folic acid and vitamin B 12 are associated with higher homocitein values - Carriers of the MTHFR gene mutation have higher homocysteine concentrations
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic disorders complicating the course of pregnancy, which concerns pre-pregnancy diabetes (PGDM) - most often type 1 or type 2; and gestational diabetes (GDM) - treated with diet (G1) or insulin (G2). Currently, in the pathogenesis of diabetes and the regulation of glucose metabolism, the role of tissue hormones, including adipokines, e.g., omentin-1, visfatin, have been considered. Adipokines might also affect the development of the fetus - mainly fetal adipose tissue gain. Their concentrations and activity depend on the maternal visceral fat content and concomitant metabolic disorders. It is known that adipokines are excreted in human milk during the lactation period. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of diabetes during pregnancy, requiring treatment with diet or insulin, on the nutritional status of the newborn.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of nutrition education focusing on colorful fruit and vegetable intake with after-meal physical activity guidance on glycemic control and complications in women with gestational diabetes and pre-gestational diabetes.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) GDM is the most common complication that affects the health of the child and mother during pregnancy. Objectives was to determine the effects of Antenatal exercises on glucose levels, mode of delivery and APGAR Score in females with gestational diabetes mellitus. This Randomized controlled trial study was conducted on N= 72 pregnant females at department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Mian Munshi DHQ Hospital, Lahore after Ethical approval of synopsis from institutional Review Board of the University of Lahore . The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS Version 24. .
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs secondary to carbohydrate intolerance in pregnancy. Screening of GDM occurs between 24 to 28 weeks gestation by a screening 1-hour 50g glucose challenge test and confirmed with a 100g 3-hour fasting glucose tolerance test. Once patients are diagnosed with GDM, they are instructed to check their fingerstick blood glucose four times daily, every day. There is insufficient evidence to determine the ideal frequency and timing of glucose monitoring in patients diagnosed with GDM and no absolute guidelines put in place by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The study team aims to confirm non inferiority on the patient population on the effects of daily (4x daily) versus every other day (4x daily) glucose monitoring in all patients diagnosed with GDM.
The main objective of the study is to investigate the metabolic effects of whey protein (whey protein isolate, WPI, (Lacprodan® ISO.Water. from Arla Foods Ingredients) compared with placebo when consumed by women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) from diagnosis (around gestational week 28) to delivery. Any changes in substrate metabolism and energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry will also be investigated. Differences in hunger and satiety parameters as well as blood pressure and gestational weight gain will also be assessed. Furthermore, analysis on the glucose response when the women consume the intervention (whey or placebo) at home in their own environment 30 minutes before breakfast at time of diagnosis (earliest week 28) and week 36 (four days following each time point) will be made. The women will be monitored with continuous glucose monitors, activity monitors and all meals will be provided for two days following the study days in the laboratory. At delivery cord blood will be sampled for analysis on metabolic parameters and investigations on epigenetics/DNA methylations. Complications to the delivery, neonatal outcomes, anthropometrics of the child will also be assessed. Breast milk composition will also be analyzed.
In this study, the investigators have aimed to investigate whether GDM is a risk factor for hearing impairment in newborns. To the investigators knowledge, this study is the first prospective, controlled study on this subject.
Pelvic girdle pain and gestational diabetes mellitus are experienced in similar trimesters of pregnancy. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus on the occurrence of pelvic girdle pain and the severity of symptoms of pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women.
