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 …

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

Background. Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived protein counteracting insulin
resistance and inflammation. We have compared women with gestational diabetes mellitus …

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

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

Objective: Pregnancy is a unique situation characterized by insulin resistance. The role of
adiponectin, an insulin-sensitizing hormone, has not been completely clarified during …

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an impaired fasting glucose condition during
pregnancy. Adiponectin is a polypeptide hormone that is extensively released by adipocytes …

OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific protein that has been found to be
associated with insulin sensitivity and obesity. Because gestational diabetes mellitus is …

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

OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone with antidiabetic,
antiatherosclerotic, and antiinflammatory properties. This study investigated the relations …
