Sex dimorphism in the associations of gestational diabetes with cord blood adiponectin and retinol-binding protein 4
2020
BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care
IntroductionGestational diabetes (GD) is associated with impaired insulin sensitivity in newborns. Adiponectin and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP-4) are involved in regulating insulin sensitivity. Females are more likely to develop diabetes at young ages than males. We tested the hypothesis that GD may affect RBP-4 and adiponectin levels in early life, and there may be sex-dimorphic associations.Research design and methodsIn a nested case–control study of 153 matched pairs of neonates of
