Plasma concentrations of adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and its soluble
receptors sTNFR-1 and sTNFR-2 were measured in 80 patients with gestational diabetes …

Adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) have been implicated in insulin resistance
and diabetes mellitus (DM). In the present study we investigated levels of adiponectin and …

Aims. To investigate changes in serum adiponectin during pregnancy and postpartum and
assess its relationship with insulin resistance as measured by homeostasis model …

Objective Adiponectin is a 29-kd adipocyte-secreted protein that has been linked to insulin
resistance in obesity and diabetes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate adiponectin …

We investigated adiponectin levels in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and
normal glucose tolerance (NGT) at 24–28 gestational weeks. Fasting serum adiponectin …

Aim. Adiponectin is an insulin sensitizing protein. Because gestational diabetes mellitus is
associated with insulin resistance, we compared serum adiponectin levels in women with …

Aims/hypothesis The postpartum phase following gestational diabetes (GDM) is
characterised by subtle metabolic defects, including the beta cell dysfunction that is believed …

BACKGROUND: Overweight/obese (OW/OB) women are at high risk to develop gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnancy. AIM: To investigate, in pregnant OW/OB women, the …

Low plasma adiponectin has been identified as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Our
objective was to determine the extent to which low maternal plasma adiponectin is predictive …

OBJECTIVE To examine whether circulating total and high–molecular weight (HMW)
adiponectin concentrations, measured before pregnancy, are associated with subsequent …
