abstract = {Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can cause severe adverse effects on fetal and neonatal outcomes. The following study investigates the relationship between retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and GDM in pregnant women with different grades (A1 and A2) and different gestational weeks.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 194 GDM patients (GDM group) and 67 normal glucose tolerance pregnant women (control group) were enrolled from 2014 to 2017. Elbow venous blood samples were collected from all subjects. Enzyme electrode method and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used for fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and RBP4/insulin levels (FINS) analysis, respectively.
Results: At middle pregnancy and late stage, FINS, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and RBP4 were all significantly higher in the GDM group compared to control group (P},
