Abstract
Aims
To elucidate the clinical and pathological characteristics of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with high and low insulin resistance.
Methods
In total, 1393 GDM and 1001 non-GDM singleton deliveries were included in this study. Insulin resistance subtypes were classified according to the HOMA2-IR value. Clinical data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Placenta samples were collected for pathological analysis.
Results
Maternal age and fasting glucose were identified as independent risk factors for GDM with high insulin resistance (p < 0.01), while fasting glucose was the sole risk factor for GDM with low insulin resistance (p < 0.001). Fetal distress was associated with both of GDM subtypes (both p < 0.01), while anemia, fetal growth restriction, large for gestational age and intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy were related to specific GDM insulin resistance subtype. In addition, GDM with high insulin resistance showed an increase of syncytial knots with down-regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling, while GDM with low insulin resistance showed normal syncytial knot counts and up-regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling.
Conclusions
Our findings provide novel perspectives to the clinical and pathological comprehensions of GDM with high and low insulin resistance, which might facilitate the mechanism study of GDM and its precision pregnancy management.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
