Inflammatory mediators like interleukin-6 (IL-6) and acute phase protein like C-reactive protein (CRP) are supposed to contribute to development of GDM, however clinical data supporting this hypothesis is limited. This study was designed to analyze the association of IL-6 and CRP with development of GDM in Indian females.
This case control study included pregnant women diagnosed as GDM (n = 53) and those having normal glucose tolerance (n = 50). Serum levels of IL-6 and CRP were analysed and correlated with various clinical parameters.
Serum IL-6 levels were significantly high (p < 0.05) in GDM females as compared to control females. IL-6 levels correlated with pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), fasting blood sugar (FBS) and postprandial sugar (PPBS). Unlike IL-6, CRP levels did not show significant differences between GDM and control females. However, positive correlation of CRP levels with BMI, FBS and PPBS was observed.
High IL-6 levels in gestational diabetes may indicate a possible role for inflammation in pathophysiology of GDM.
白细胞介素-6(IL-6)等炎症介质和C反应蛋白(CRP)等急性期蛋白被认为与妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)的发生有关,然而支持这一假设的临床数据有限。本研究旨在分析印度女性中IL-6和CRP与GDM发生的相关性。
本病例对照研究纳入了被诊断为GDM的孕妇(n = 53)和糖耐量正常的孕妇(n = 50)。分析血清IL-6和CRP水平,并与各种临床参数进行相关性分析。
与对照组女性相比,GDM女性的血清IL-6水平显著升高(p < 0.05)。IL-6水平与孕前体重指数(BMI)、空腹血糖(FBS)和餐后血糖(PPBS)相关。与IL-6不同,GDM和对照组女性的CRP水平没有显著差异。然而,观察到CRP水平与BMI、FBS和PPBS呈正相关。
妊娠期糖尿病中IL-6水平升高可能表明炎症在GDM病理生理学中可能起作用。
