Abstract:
Objective To investigate alterations in serum NOV/CCN3 levels among women during mid-to-late pregnancy and elucidate its association with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and pregnancy outcomes.Methods Based on the results of an oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT),we categorized 252 pregnant women into two groups:the GDM group and the control group.Within the GDM group,participants were further stratified based on pre-pregnancy body mass index levels and pregnancy outcomes.We collected clinical data for all study subjects and compared differences in general information,biochemical indicators,as well as NOV/CCN3 levels between these groups.Results The serum levels of NOV/CCN3 in the GDM group were significantly higher compared to those in the control group(P<0.001).Spearman correlation analysis revealed a positive association between serum NOV/CCN3 and pre-pregnancy body weight,pre-pregnancy body mass index,insulin resistance index,and total cholesterol;while a negative correlation was observed with insulin sensitivity index(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that NOV/CCN3 is an independent risk factor for the development of GDM[OR=1.097,95%CI(1.020~1.179),P=0.013],as well as adverse pregnancy outcomes in GDM patients[OR=1.032,95%CI(1.020~1.045),P<0.001].ROC analysis indicated AUCs of 0.840 and 0.784 for these associations respectively(P<0.05).Conclusions Serum levels of NOV/CCN3 in pregnant women at mid-to late-stage are associated with obesity,insulin resistance,and glucose-lipid metabolism,suggesting a potential role of NOV/CCN3 in glycolipid metabolism during gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).These findings provide novel insights for assessing the occurrence of GDM and predicting pregnancy outcomes in mid-to late-stage pregnancies.
