Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of serum omentin-1 and chemerin with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: Serum levels of omentin-1 chemerin, glycolipids biochemical index, inflammation index, fasting insulin (FINS), and insulin resistance indexes (HOMA-IR) were determined in 85 women with GDM and 85 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). RESULTS: BMI, FPG, hs-CRP, blood lipids, blood glucose, FINS, HOMA-IR and serum chemerin level were all significantly higher while serum omentin-1 significantly lower in GDM group than in NGT group (P<0.05). In both groups, serum omentin-1 level was significantly lower and serum chemerin was significantly higher in obese subjects than in the non-obese subjects (P<0.05). Obesity before delivery and/or HOMA-IR ≥2 was associated with a significantly decreased serum omentin-1 level; serum chemerin increased significantly in obese women before delivery but was not associated with HOMA-IR. Serum omentin-1 level was positively correlated with HDL but inversely with BMI (at pregnancy and before delivery), FPG, FINS and HOMA-IR; Chemerin was positively correlated with TC, TG, hs-CRP and FPG; serum omentin-1 and chemerin levels were not significant correlated (P=0.301). In women with GDM, BMI at pregnancy, TG, FPG, and FINS were all independent factors affecting serum omentin-1; TG, LDL, and hs-CRP were independent factors affecting serum chemerin. CONCLUSION: An decreased serum omentin-1 can be indicative of glucose and lipid metabolism disorder and insulin resistance, and an increased serum chemerin level indicates hyperlipidemia and chronic inflammation in pregnant women. Both of the adipokines are closed associated with GDM and probably participate in the occurrence and development of GDM.
