Abstract:

As a common gestational complication, prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing steadily, leading to short- and long-term adverse outcomes for both mother and infant. The pathogenesis of GDM is unclear, however, screening biomarkers in maternal serum for predicting GDM in the first trimester is of great significance for early intervention to lessen the harm. Recent evidence suggests that some adipokines in the first trimester showed correlations with GDM development, including decreased levels of adiponectin, omentin-1, irisin, chemerin, and increased levels of leptin, resistin, visfatin, fatty acid-binding protein 4, retinol-binding protein 4 and betatrophin. These adipokines would help complete a predictive or early diagnostic model for GDM.
