Pro-Neurotensin (NT), a stable surrogate parameter of NT, has recently been introduced as a peptide predicting the development of obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and cardiovascular mortality. However, regulation of Pro-NT in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains uninvestigated.
Pro-NT was quantified in 74 women with GDM, 74 healthy, gestational age-matched, pregnant controls, as well as in a second cohort comprising of 74 healthy, non-pregnant control women, using a chemiluminometric sandwich immunoassay. Pro-NT was correlated to measures of obesity, hypertension, glucose and lipid metabolism, renal function, and inflammation. Mean ± standard deviation of circulating Pro-NT levels were not significantly different in women with GDM (100.2 ± 75.7 pmol/l) as compared to healthy, pregnant controls (103.2 ± 37.4 pmol/l) and healthy, non-pregnant female controls (105.9 ± 38.9 pmol/l) (p = 0.661). Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and creatinine positively correlated with serum Pro-NT in multivariate regression analysis. In contrast, free fatty acids (FFA) were inversely correlated with circulating Pro-NT. Results sustained adjustment for pregnancy status.
Circulating Pro-NT is not independently associated with GDM, but is with HOMA-IR, creatinine, and FFA even after adjustment for pregnancy status.
前神经降压素(Pro-NT)作为神经降压素(NT)的一个稳定替代参数,最近被引入作为一种可预测肥胖、糖尿病、心血管疾病及心血管疾病死亡率发生发展的肽类物质。然而,妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)中Pro-NT的调节机制仍未得到研究。
采用化学发光夹心免疫分析法,对74例患有GDM的女性、74例健康的、孕周匹配的孕妇对照组以及另一组由74例健康非孕女性对照组进行Pro-NT定量检测。将Pro-NT与肥胖、高血压、糖脂代谢、肾功能及炎症指标进行相关性分析。与健康孕妇对照组(103.2±37.4 pmol/l)和健康非孕女性对照组(105.9±38.9 pmol/l)相比,GDM女性循环Pro-NT水平的均值±标准差无显著差异(100.2±75.7 pmol/l)(p = 0.661)。在多因素回归分析中,胰岛素抵抗稳态模型评估(HOMA-IR)和肌酐与血清Pro-NT呈正相关。相反,游离脂肪酸(FFA)与循环Pro-NT呈负相关。即使对妊娠状态进行校正,结果依然成立。
循环Pro-NT与GDM无独立相关性,但即使在校正妊娠状态后,其与HOMA-IR、肌酐和FFA有关。
