- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between serum leptin,resistin and adiponectin levels and preeclampsia.METHODS: The study was a case-control study.All enrolled pregnant women were selected from January2013 to June 2015 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital,Peking Union Medical College Peking Union Medical College Hospital.In the case group,74 patients were further divided into early-onset and late-onset subgroups(51 cases and 23 cases respectively).The control group enrolled 79 uncomplicated pregnant women who delivered full-term babies during the study period.Three adipokines were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS: Leptin level8.98)μg/L,P<0.001).Positive correlation between leptin level and BMI was observed in normotensive pregnancies(r=0.651,P<0.001),but the correlation disappeared in preeclampsia patients.The serum resistin level in the case group was significantly higher than that in the control group(14.08±6.10)vs.(9.99±8.33)μg/L,P<0.001),and there was no correlation between serum resistin level and BMI.There was no significant difference in adiponectin level between the case group and the control group.CONCLUSION: Serum resistin and leptin in preeclampsia population are significantly higher than those in normotensive pregnancies,and the underlying mechanism of their elevation needs to be further investigated.The correlation between adiponectin and preeclampsia is not clear.
