Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between inositol level and glycolipid metabolism in gravidas with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 GDM cases undergoing routine examination at Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children's Hospital from November 2018 to August 2019, who were selected as GDM groups. Another 50 women with uncomplicated pregnancies during the same period were selected as the control group. Blood and urine inositol level and serum glycolipid profiles were compared between the two groups, and their association was analyzed. Independent or paired-sample t test, Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test, and Pearson correlation test were performed for statistical analysis. Results:The serum inositol concentration and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the GDM group were significantly lower [322.1 ng/ml (279.1-364.1 ng/ml) vs 403.8 ng/ml (391.8-425.3 ng/ml), Z=-7.879; 1.8 mmol/L (1.5-2.0 mmol/L) vs 2.0 mmol/L (1.7-2.2 mmol/L), Z=-2.419; both P<0.05], while the concentration of urine inositol, lipoprotein-a (lipo-a), 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose, fasting insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were significantly higher when comparing to the control group [192.2 ng/ml (171.0-219.9 ng/ml) vs 143.8 ng/ml (121.1-158.6 ng/ml), Z=-6.834; 253.2 mg/L (65.0-349.0 mg/L) vs 148.5 mg/L(46.5-159.3 mg/L), Z=-0.187; 5.0 mmol/L (5.1-5.6 mmol/L) vs 4.4 mmol/L (4.2-4.6 mmol/L), Z=-5.547; 10.0 mmol/L (9.1-11.3 mmol/L) vs 7.8 mmol/L (7.0-8.4 mmol/L), Z=-6.987; 8.6 mmol/L(7.6-9.4 mmol/L) and 6.6 mmol/L (5.7-7.1 mmol/L), Z=-7.100; 18.2 mU/L(10.6-25.9 mU/L) vs 11.0 mU/L (6.3-12.7 mU/L), Z=-4.537; 5.4%(4.5%-5.5%) vs 5.1%(4.9%-5.4%), Z=-3.468; all P<0.05]. (2) Serum inositol concentration was negatively correlated with fasting insulin and 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h- OGTT glucose level ( r=-0.386, -0.416, -0.350 and -0.407, respectively); urinary inositol concentration was positively correlated with 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h-OGTT glucose levels ( r=0.402, 0.389 and 0.429, respectively) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum inositol concentration was decreased, and urinary inositol excretion was increased in women with GDM. Measurement of changes in inositol levels during the second trimester may be helpful to assess the metabolic status of pregnant women.
