OBJECTIVE To observe the alterations in serum resistin in gestational diabetes (GDM) and the early postpartum period, and compare this to nondiabetic pregnancies in order to evaluate the role of serum resistin in gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS A cross-sectional study. METHODS Twenty women with normal pregnancy and 20 with gestational diabetes. METHODS Serum resistin concentration was assayed by ELISA. RESULTS Serum resistin concentration was significantly higher in women with GDM than in controls before delivery. Serum levels of resistin significantly decreased after delivery in both the GDM group and controls (P < 0.001 for both). There was a trend of higher serum resistin in women with GDM than in controls. Differences existed on days 1 (P < 0.001) and 3 (P = 0.013), but not by day 5 (P = 0.052) after delivery. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum resistin level was observed in women with gestational diabetes, suggesting that it is important in the pathology of the disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.
