To characterise the changes in serum visfatin levels in late normal pregnancy and pre-eclampsia.
Twenty-seven women with pre-eclampsia were recruited. Twenty-eight women in the third trimester of normal pregnancy served as pregnant control and 28 healthy non-pregnant women as non-pregnant control. Serum levels of visfatin were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
The means of serum visfatin were 626.4+/-45.5 ng/ml (mean+/-SEM) in non-pregnant control, 695.9+/-92.5 ng/ml in pregnant control, and 308.3+/-80.0 ng/ml in pre-eclampsia, respectively, and were significantly different among the groups (p<0.001). Visfatin level was significantly lower in pre-eclampsia compared to non-pregnant control (p=0.004) and pregnant control (p<0.001). Women with severe pre-eclampsia had a significantly lower serum visfatin level than those with mild pre-eclampsia (114.6+/-80.9 versus 425.2+/-122.1 ng/ml, p=0.037).
A decrease in visfatin level was demonstrated in pre-eclampsia, suggesting that visfatin and adipokine-associated metabolic abnormalities are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease.
描述妊娠晚期正常孕妇和子痫前期孕妇血清内脂素水平的变化。
招募27例子痫前期孕妇。28例妊娠晚期正常孕妇作为妊娠对照组,28例健康非妊娠妇女作为非妊娠对照组。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法测量血清内脂素水平。
非妊娠对照组、妊娠对照组和子痫前期组血清内脂素的均值分别为626.4±45.5 ng/ml(均值±标准误)、695.9±92.5 ng/ml和308.3±80.0 ng/ml,组间差异有统计学意义(p<0.001)。与非妊娠对照组(p=0.004)和妊娠对照组(p<0.001)相比,子痫前期组内脂素水平显著降低。重度子痫前期患者血清内脂素水平显著低于轻度子痫前期患者(114.6±80.9对425.2±122.1 ng/ml,p=0.037)。
子痫前期患者内脂素水平降低,提示内脂素及脂肪因子相关的代谢异常参与了该病的发病机制。
