Abstract:
Objectives To analyze the impact of glucose-insulin metabolism during pregnancy onβ-cell function in premature infant, and to explore biomarkers for monitoringβ-cell function in preterm infant. Methods Eighty-two premature infants admitted to NICU from March to December 2012 were divided into 2 groups, a group with abnormal maternal glucose metabolism during pregnancy (35 cases) and another group with normal maternal glucose metabolism during pregnancy group (47 cases). Fasting blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide and proinsulin at 1 hour after birth and 7 days postpartum were measured respectively, and relevant indices ofβ-cell function were compared in premature infants. Results Maternal pre-pregnancy and prenatal body mass index, weight and head circumference of preterm infants at birth were signiifcantly different between two groups (P<0.05) except for maternal weight gain in pregnancy (P>0.05). The differences in levels of proinsulin at birth, C-peptide and proinsulin at postnatal day 7 were signiifcantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no signiifcant diffe-rence in insulin resistance, fastingβcell function index and insulin sensitivity index between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Abnormal maternal glucose metabolism in pregnancy has no effect on early pancreatic islet function in premature infant, how-ever, proinsulin secretion has been affected.
