Short stature has been associated with various degrees of abnormal glucose tolerance in middle-aged people, where the effects of age and metabolic control would be difficult to exclude. We chose to examine body stature in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a prediabetic state affecting a young group of people. A sample of 2772 Greek pregnant women, referred for GDM screening was examined. After a 100-g oral glucose tolerance test, 1787 women were classified as normal (N), 300 women were found with one abnormal glucose value (OAV) and 685 women with GDM. Basal insulin resistance was calculated in 640 women by homeostasis model assessment. In addition, 51 pregnant women with pre-existing Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and 109 with pre-existing Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus were included in the study. There was a gradual decrease in mean height (cm) as glucose intolerance became more severe: N: 161.0 +/- 6.2, OAV:160.2 +/- 6.1, GDM:158.7 +/- 6.3, Type II diabetes 158.2 +/- 7.0 (p < 0.001, analysis of variance]. Height in Type I diabetes (160.1 +/- 5.9) did not differ from the normal group. The difference in height between the normal and GDM groups remained (p < 0.001) when body weight, age, birth before or after 1960 and educational status were also taken into account. An independent correlation was also found between height and insulin resistance (n = 640) adjusted for the above mentioned variables. In conclusion, short stature appears to be associated with glucose intolerance as an independent variable, even when this intolerance is both mild and temporary. The previously unrecognised independent association of stature with basal insulin resistance merits further investigation. 相似文献

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with much increased risk of developing diabetes later on in life. Using the frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test and the minimal model analyses we have therefore determined the early insulin response to glucose (EIR) and insulin sensitivity (Si), in women with GDM of different severity (n = 14) and in normal women (n = 10). During the last trimester of pregnancy. GDMs compared to controls had significantly lower EIR (p < 0.001) and Si (p < 0.01). The reduction in EIR was less marked in GDM patients treated with diet alone (n = 6) as compared to GMD patients (n = 8) who subsequently during pregnancy needed treatment also with insulin. The insulin treated GDM group only had higher fasting glucose level than controls (5.2 vs 4.2 mmol/l, p < 0.001). Both GDM subgroups had slightly elevated basal levels of FFA and 3-hydroxybutyrate. Si and EIR were inversely correlated in control women and their fasting glucose correlated both to EIR (r = 0.63, p < 0.05) and to Si (r = 0.59, p < 0.05). In the GDM subgroups Si and EIR were unrelated and there were no correlations between fasting glucose and Si or EIR. These results suggest that glucose intolerance in GDM patients in the last trimester of pregnancy is characterized by both an impaired insulin secretion and an increased resistance to insulin. The impairment of insulin secretion and action increases with the severity of hyperglycemia, and the relative insulin deficiency characterizing GDM patients is associated with a selected defect in insulin action mainly affecting gluco-regulation. 相似文献

Presence of antithyroid autoantibodies (ThyAb) during pregnancy is strictly related to the risk of developing post partum thyroiditis (PPT) and this risk is increased in IDDM pregnant women. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity that begins, or is first diagnosed, during pregnancy. GDM is considered a risk factor for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and various non-organ specific autoantibodies have been found to be associated with GDM, although there is little information on the association of GDM with thyroid autoimmunity. In this study oral glucose tolerance and prevalence of ThyAb were evaluated in a group of 41 pregnant women at increased risk of developing GDM and in a healthy control group. Our results showed that 22% of GDM risk group had impaired glucose gestational tolerance (IGGT) or GDM at the time of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Moreover, ThyAb prevalence found in the women at increased risk of GDM (14.6%) was similar to that observed in healthy pregnant controls (12.5%). Nevertheless ThyAb frequency was higher in those GDM risk women with family history of diabetes (30.7%). 相似文献

We examined antepartum clinical characteristics along with measures of glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, pancreatic beta-cell function, and body composition in Latino women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) for their ability to predict type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) within 6 months after delivery. A total of 122 islet cell antibody-negative women underwent oral and intravenous glucose tolerance tests (OGTT; IVGTT), hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, and measurement of body fat between 29 and 36 weeks' gestation and returned between 1 and 6 months postpartum for a 75-g OGTT. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between antepartum variables and glucose tolerance status postpartum. At postpartum testing, 40% of the cohort had normal glucose tolerance, 50% had IGT, and 10% had diabetes by American Diabetes Association criteria. Independent antepartum predictors of postpartum diabetes were the 30-min incremental insulin:glucose ratio during a 75-g OGTT (P = 0.0002) and the total area under the diagnostic 100-g glucose tolerance curve (P = 0.003). Independent predictors of postpartum IGT were a low first-phase IVGTT insulin response (P = 0.0001), a diagnosis of GDM before 22 weeks' gestation (P = 0.003), and weight gain between prepregnancy and the postpartum examination (P = 0.03). All subjects had low insulin sensitivity during late pregnancy, but neither glucose clamp nor minimal model measures of insulin sensitivity in the 3rd trimester were associated with the risk of IGT or diabetes within 6 months' postpartum. These results highlight the importance of pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, detectable under conditions of marked insulin resistance in late pregnancy, to predict abnormalities of glucose tolerance soon after delivery in pregnancies complicated by GDM. Moreover, the association of postpartum IGT with weight gain and an early gestational age at diagnosis of GDM suggests a role for chronic insulin resistance in mediating hyperglycemia outside the 3rd trimester in women with such a beta-cell defect. 相似文献

GDM develops in 1-3% of all pregnancies. Women with GDM are characterized by a relatively diminished insulin secretion coupled with a pregnancy-induced insulin resistance primary located in skeletal muscle tissue. The cellular background for this insulin resistance is not known. The binding of insulin to its receptor and the subsequent activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase have significant importance for the cellular effect of insulin. Thus, the pathogenesis to the insulin resistance was studied by investigating insulin receptor binding and tyrosine kinase activity in skeletal muscle biopsies from women with GDM and pregnant controls. No major abnormalities were found in GDM wherefore it is likely that the insulin resistance is caused by intracellular defects distal to the activation of the tyrosine kinase. Glucose tolerance returns to normal postpartum in the majority of women with GDM. However, previous studies, in populations quite different from a Danish population, have shown that women with previous GDM have a high risk of developing overt diabetes mellitus later in life. Hence, we aimed to investigate the prognosis of women with previous GDM with respect to subsequent development of diabetes and also to identify predictive factors for the development of overt diabets in these women. A follow-up study of diet treated GDM women diagnosed during 1978 to 1985 at the Rigshospital, Copenhagen was performed. Glucose tolerance was evaluated in 241 women (81% of the GDM population) 2-11 years after pregnancy. Abnormal glucose tolerance was found in 34.4% of the women (3.7% IDDM, 13.7% NIDDM, 17% IGT) in contrast to a control group where none had diabetes and 5.3% had IGT. Logistic regression analysis identified the following independent risk factors for later development of diabetes: a high fasting glucose level at diagnosis of GDM, a delivery more than 3 weeks before term, and an abnormal OGTT 2 months postpartum. Low insulin secretion at diagnosis of GDM was also an independent risk factor. The presence of ICA and GAD-autoantibodies in pregnancy was associated with later development of IDDM. In another study the following techniques: hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp, indirect calorimetry and tritiated glucose infusion were used to evaluate insulin sensitivity in glucose tolerant nonobese women with previous GDM and controls. A decreased insulin sensitivity due to a decreased non-oxidative glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle was found in women with previous GDM. Hence, the activity of three key enzymes in intracellular glucose metabolism (GS, HK and PFK) was studied in skeletal muscle biopsies obtained in the basal state and after 3 h hyperinsulinaemia, with the aim to identify the cellular defects causing the decreased insulin sensitivity. However, no abnormalities in enzyme activity was found. The same group of previous GDM women had a relatively reduced insulin secretion evaluated by the IVGTT. A longitudinal study of 91 GDM women showed a relatively reduced insulin secretion to oral glucose in pregnancy, postpartum as well as 5-11 years later. Thus the present review has shown that even nonobese glucose tolerant women with previous GDM are characterized by the metabolic profile of NIDDM i.e. insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. Hence, the combination of this finding together with the significantly increased risk for development of diabetes indicates that all women with previous GDM should have a regular assessment of their glucose tolerance in the years after pregnancy. The first OGTT should be performed around 2 months postpartum in order to diagnose women already diabetic and to identify women with the highest risk for later development of overt diabetes. Women with previous GDM comprise a target group for future intervention trials with the aim to prevent or delay development of NIDDM and IDDM. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The American Diabetes Association has recommended that pregnant women with low-risk factors need not be tested for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of GDM in women with low-risk factors and to see if the pregnancy outcomes of women with GDM from a low-risk group were different from the outcomes of other women with GDM. RESEARCH DESION AND METHODS: Over an 18-month period, all pregnant women were offered a test for GDM using a 75-g glucose tolerance test at the beginning of the 3rd trimester. GDM was diagnosed if the 2-h glucose level was > or =8.0 mmol/l. The prevalence of GDM was determined in women with defined low-risk factors (Caucasian ethnic origin, age <25 years, and BMI <25 kg/m2). The pregnancy outcomes of women with GDM from a low-risk group were compared with those of other women with GDM. RESULTS: From a tested population of 2,907 women, 573 were identified as coming from a low-risk group. The prevalence of GDM in this low-risk group was 2.8%. The pregnancy outcomes of women with GDM from a low-risk group were no different from the pregnancy outcomes of other women with GDM, with respect to frequency of insulin use, units of insulin per day, morbidity, emergency caesarian section, and the percentage of both large- and small-for-gestational-age babies. In our population, if low-risk women were excluded, 80% of women would still require testing and nearly 10% of all cases of GDM would be missed. CONCLUSIONS: Women from a low-risk group have a 2.8% prevalence rate of GDM. The pregnancy outcomes of women with GDM from a low-risk group are similar to the outcomes of other women with GDM. Concerning the use of the 75-g glucose tolerance test in pregnancy, the recommendation not to test women from a low-risk group requires further evaluation in different populations before it can be endorsed. 相似文献

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with defects in insulin secretion and insulin action, and women with a history of GDM carry a high risk for the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Assessment of subjects with a history of GDM who are currently normoglycemic should help elucidate some of the underlying defects in insulin secretion or action in the evolution of NIDDM. We have studied 14 women with normal oral glucose tolerance who had a history of GDM. They were compared with a group of control subjects who were matched for both body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). All subjects underwent tests for the determination of oral glucose tolerance, ultradian oscillations in insulin secretion during a 28-h glucose infusion, insulin secretion in response to intravenous glucose, glucose disappearance after intravenous glucose (Kg), and insulin sensitivity (SI) as measured by the Bergman minimal model method. The BMI in the post-GDM women was similar to that in the control subjects (24.9 +/- 1.2 vs. 25.4 +/- 1.4 kg/m2, respectively), as was the WHR ratio (0.80 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.76 +/- 0.01, respectively). The post-GDM women were slightly older (35.2 +/- 0.9 vs. 32.1 +/- 1.4 years, P = 0.04). The fasting plasma glucose levels were significantly higher in the post-GDM group than in the control group (4.9 +/- 0.1 vs. 4.4 +/- 0.1 mmol/l, respectively, P < 0.001) and remained higher at each of the subsequent determinations during the oral glucose tolerance test, although none had a result indicative of either diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether otherwise healthy women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may have abnormalities in endothelial function at a very early stage, before glucose intolerance occurs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 33 women with previous GDM (17 nonobese [BMI < 27] and 16 obese [BMI > or = 27]) and 19 healthy nonobese women were examined. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed, and insulin levels and biochemical parameters were also measured. Using high-resolution ultrasound, we measured vasodilatory responses of the brachial artery during reactive hyperemia (endothelium-dependent vasodilatation), and after nitroglycerin administration, an endothelium-independent vasodilator. RESULTS: Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) was significantly and equally decreased in both groups of women with previous GDM, compared with control subjects (1.6 +/- 3.7% in the nonobese GDM group and 1.6 +/- 2.5% in the obese GDM group vs. 10.3 +/- 4.4% in control subjects, P < 0.001). FMD correlated inversely with serum uric acid levels, BMI, serum total cholesterol, and basal insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment). Nitrate-induced dilatation was significantly decreased only in the obese GDM group compared with control subjects, (21.4 +/- 5.1 vs. 27.9 +/- 9.5, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Endothelial dysfunction, which is considered as a very early index of atherogenesis, is already present in both obese and nonobese women with a history of GDM, even when they have normal glucose tolerance. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the patterns of attendance in a gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) follow-up program for detection of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using computerised data from the GDM follow-up program. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: All women with GDM who delivered at the Mercy Hospital for Women in Victoria between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1995. OUTCOME MEASURES: Enrollment and maintenance in the follow-up program. Predictors of attendance analysed were attendance for the postnatal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), severity of GDM, insulin requirement in pregnancy, age at index pregnancy, country of birth, patient booking status and year of index pregnancy. RESULTS: There were 3524 women with GDM delivered during the study period. Attendance for postnatal OGTT was 71% and increased from 43.7% to 69.5% to 84.4% during the three five-year periods of the study (P < 0.00001). Entry into the follow-up program was 58% (1743 of 2986 eligible). A further 538 women (15.3%) were awaiting the postnatal OGTT or first follow-up OGTT. By December 1995, 45% of women who had entered the program had been lost to follow-up. Enrollment in the follow-up program was significantly predicted by insulin requirement in pregnancy (odds ratio [OR], 2.22; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.57-3.13), attendance for postnatal OGTT (OR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.64-2.29), private patient status (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.12-1.54), severity of GDM (OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.24-1.82) and age 30 years or more (OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.17-1.60). Maintenance in the follow-up program was significantly associated with attendance for postnatal OGTT (OR, 2.67; 95% CI, 2.19-3.24), insulin requirement in pregnancy (OR, 2.56; 95% CI, 1.87-3.50), age 30 years or more (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.34-1.88) and severity of GDM (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.28-1.89). CONCLUSIONS: There are major difficulties with both recruiting women with GDM into a follow-up program and ensuring their continued attendance. However, a postnatal OGTT and consultation is the most important remediable factor for continuation in a follow-up program. The dedication of the follow-up team administrators rather than the clinical variables of the patients was probably the main determinant of compliance with the follow-up program. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To review the detection, diagnosis, and clinical management of gestational diabetes. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, Gestational Diabetes Guideline Review, 1968-1998. STUDY SELECTION: By the author. DATA EXTRACTION: By the author. DATA SYNTHESIS: Gestational diabetes is a common complication of pregnancy, occurring in 2% to 6% of pregnancies. Uncontrolled gestational diabetes is associated with increased infant morbidity and mortality, macrosomia, and cesarean deliveries, and is a strong marker for the future development of maternal diabetes mellitus. Women with risk factors for gestational diabetes should be screened for glucose intolerance at 24 to 28 weeks' gestation. If a screening plasma glucose concentration is 140 mg/dL or greater one hour after a 50 gram oral glucose load, then a diagnostic 100 gram, three-hour oral glucose tolerance test should be performed. Medical nutrition therapy is the cornerstone of management and must be designed to meet individual needs. Self-monitoring of blood glucose should be taught to and performed by all women with gestational diabetes. Insulin, which does not readily cross the placental barrier, is the drug therapy of choice in women failing medical nutrition therapy. CONCLUSION: Pharmacists can optimize overall care by educating, monitoring, and intervening or assisting the patient in the management of gestational diabetes. 相似文献

The prevalence of polycystic ovaries, according to ultrasonography, and associated clinical, endocrine, and metabolic features were investigated in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Thirty-four women with GDM 3-5 yr before the investigation and 36 controls with uncomplicated pregnancies, selected for similar age, parity, and date of delivery, were investigated. The women with previous GDM showed a higher prevalence of polycystic ovaries [14 of 34 (41%) vs. 1 of 36 (3%); P < 0.0001], hirsutism (P < 0.01), irregular menstrual cycles (P < 0.01), and a higher body mass index (BMI; P < 0.001) than the controls. Five women (15%) with previous GDM had developed manifest diabetes (excluded in comparisons of metabolic variables). After dividing the women with previous GDM into subgroups according to ovarian appearance, the 2 subgroups showed similar glucose tolerance and prevalence of diabetes, whereas the women with polycystic ovaries were younger (mean +/- SD, 33.3 +/- 1.4 vs. 38.2 +/- 1.1; P < 0.01), had higher truncal-abdominal/femoral fat ratio according to skin folds (P < 0.05), had higher concentrations of androstenedione (P < 0.01) and testosterone (P < 0.01), and had a higher LH/FSH ratio (P < 0.01), lower levels of GH (P < 0.01), higher levels of triglycerides (P < 0.05) and cholesterol (P < 0.05) in very low density lipoprotein, all independent of age and BMI, and had a higher prevalence of pregnancy-induced hypertension (50% vs. 15%; P < 0.05) during the index pregnancy compared with the women with normal ovaries. The group of women with GDM showed a lower early insulin release after glucose (i.v. glucose tolerance test) for their degree of insulin resistance (euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp) compared with controls (P < 0.05). In the two subgroups, insulin sensitivity was lower in the polycystic ovaries group, independent of BMI (P < 0.05), than in the group with normal ovaries. In conclusion, ultrasonographic, clinical and endocrine signs of polycystic ovary syndrome were much increased in women with a history of GDM. Compared with the women with normal ovaries and previous GDM, those with polycystic ovaries formed a distinct subgroup that may be more prone to develop various features of the insulin resistance syndrome. Both groups showed a similarly disturbed balance between beta-cell activity and insulin sensitivity, but in women with polycystic ovaries, insulin resistance may be the dominant component. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and positive parental history of type 2 diabetes are predictors of the future development of type 2 diabetes in several populations. However, the relative importance of parental history of diabetes and/or history of GDM as risk factors for the pathogenesis of diabetes in African-Americans remains unknown. Thus, the objectives of the present study were 1) to characterize the glucose homeostatic regulations and 2) to examine the contribution of parental history of type 2 diabetes to the potential metabolic alterations found in nondiabetic African-American women with a history of GDM (HGDM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We evaluated beta-cell secretion, insulin sensitivity (SI), and glucose-dependent glucose disposal (SG) in 15 glucose-tolerant African-American women with a parental history of type 2 diabetes and prior GDM (HGDM) and 35 women with a parental history of type 2 diabetes but without prior GDM (NHGDM). Fifteen healthy nonobese nondiabetic subjects without a family history of diabetes served as control subjects. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance analyzer, and body fat distribution pattern was determined by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Insulin-modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance (FSIGT) test was performed in each subject. SI and SG were determined by the minimal model method. RESULTS: The mean age, BMI, percent body fat content, and lean body mass were not different between the subgroups of relatives with and without a history of GDM, but were greater than those of the healthy control subjects. Mean fasting and postchallenge serum glucose levels were slightly but significantly greater in the HGDM versus NHGDM subjects and the healthy control subjects. However, the 2-h glucose levels were greater in the relatives with and without GDM when compared with the healthy control subjects. In contrast, mean postprandial serum insulin responses were significantly lower between t = 30 and 120 min in the HGDM versus NHGDM groups and the healthy control subjects. The mean serum insulin levels were not different in the NHGDM subjects and healthy control subjects. During the FSIGT test, acute first-phase insulin release (t = 0-5 min) was significantly lower in the HGDM versus NHGDM groups and healthy control subjects. Mean SI was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the HGDM versus NHGDM subjects and healthy control subjects (1.87 +/- 0.47 vs. 2.87 +/- 0.35 and 3.09 +/- 0.27 x 10(-4).min-1.[microU/ml]-1, respectively). SG was significantly lower in HGDM than NHGDM subjects and healthy control subjects (2.11 +/- 0.15 vs. 3.25 +/- 0.50 and 2.77 +/- 0.22 x 10(-2).min-1, respectively). Mean glucose effectiveness at zero insulin concentrations (GEZI) was significantly lower in the HGDM subjects when compared with the NHGDM and healthy control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrates that in African-American women with a parental history of type 2 diabetes and GDM, defects in early-phase beta-cell secretion, as well as a decreased SI, SG, and GEZI, persist when compared with those without GDM. We suggest that African-American women with a positive history of GDM have additional genetic defects that perhaps differ from that conferred by a parental history of diabetes alone. Alternatively, the metabolic and hormonal milieu during GDM may be associated with permanent alterations in beta-cell function, SI, and glucose effectiveness in African-American women. These defects could play a significant role in the development of GDM, and perhaps in the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes, in African-American women. 相似文献

In order to define a level of "pathological hyperglycaemia', i.e. glucose intolerance that predicts perinatal morbidity among the obstetric population, 100 g glucose tolerance tests (GTTs) were performed in 660 patients attending for antenatal care at the University Hospital in Jeddah. The results were analysed in two ways: (1) patients were stratified according to the number of abnormal glucose values on the GTTs and (2) patients were placed into one of three groups according to the 100 g GTT diagnostic criteria, i.e. normal (non-GDM), abnormal with fasting blood glucose (FBG) > or = 5.8 mmol l-1 (GDM), and abnormal with FBG < 5.8 mmol l-1 (gestational induced hyperglycaemia, GIH). Although there was a stepwise association between fetal/maternal morbidity with increasing number of abnormal glucose values, no level of glucose intolerance could be defined as a threshold level for normal response. However, when stratified by FBG, GDM patients were significantly heavier (78.5 kg +/- SD 14.9), had a higher incidence of both macrosomia (27.5%) and operative delivery (25.3%) than the other two groups (14.7%, 14.3%, and 15.4%, 12.8% in the non-GDM and GIH, respectively). It is suggested that among patients with abnormal GTT results a FBG > or = 5.8 mmol l-1 identifies a threshold for true "pathological hyperglycaemia'. 相似文献

Multiple low doses of streptozotocin (LDS) induce low-incidence diabetes mellitus in Balb/cHan and high-incidence diabetes in CD-1 mice. We studied offspring of diabetic parents in both strains. Group 1 consisted of litters from control mice with no streptozotocin treatment. Group 2 litters had an LDS diabetic mother and a control father, group 3 litters had control mother with LDS diabetic father, and group 4 litters had both, LDS diabetic mother and father. Diabetes was induced by 5 x 40 mg streptozotocin per kg on five consecutive days. Progeny of diabetic mothers showed a state of reduced glucose tolerance associated with reduced glucose disappearance during intravenous glucose tolerance test and increased insulin secretion of isolated islets of Langerhans. These metabolic abnormalities predominated in the male litters of both strains of mice. Amniotic insulin was increased in diabetic mothers during pregnancy. No histologic abnormalities were observed in group 2 progeny. Pancreases in male offspring of LDS diabetic CD-1 fathers (group 3) were studied for insulitis. Insulitis was found in 40% of mice with normal glucose tolerance. A single subdiabetogenic dose of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg) induced insulitis in 90% of pancreases accompanied by reduced insulin release of isolated islets. By contrast, male Balb/cHan progeny of diabetic fathers failed to develop insulitis. In conclusion, we found (1) parental LDS diabetes was transmitted more often to male offspring, (2) maternal LDS diabetes was associated with hyperinsulin secretion and glucose intolerance in the offspring and (3) paternal LDS diabetes was accompanied by insulitis and insulin secretion deficiency in CD-1 progeny. 相似文献

We aimed to determine a threshold value that perfectly demarcates women at high risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the Turkish population. One thousand gravid women of 24 to 32 weeks of gestation were given 50 g, 1-hour glucose screening tests. A 100 g, 3-hour glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed on all patients whose screening test plasma glucose value was 130 mg/dL or greater. The sensitivity and specificity of each screening test value was found, and the GDM rate of each value was calculated. Three-hundred-and-five patients were identified for GTT and 66 were shown to have GDM with two or more abnormal values in GTT. The incidence of GDM was found to be 6.6%. The maximum specificity and sensitivity were met at 140 mg/dL. However, this value underestimated 12% of patients with GDM, and the lowest value for a positive GTT appeared to be 134 mg/dL. We recommend a 135 mg/dL threshold for GTT since this threshold accurately diagnoses almost all women with GDM while eliminating unnecessary GTT. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine how well the extent of glucose abnormality, as reflected by the number of abnormal values on the 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (GTT), correlates with the level of carbohydrate intolerance during pregnancy and with the severity of adverse outcome. METHODS: We followed 764 gestational diabetic women under a once-per-week fasting and 2-hour postprandial serum glucose monitoring system. The subjects were stratified by the number of abnormal values on their GTTs. The level of glucose control and incidence of large for gestational age (LGA) infants were then determined and compared with the findings in 636 gravidas with abnormal screening but all normal GTT values. RESULTS: Patients with one or more abnormal GTT values had comparable incidences of LGA infants, which were all significantly greater than that in the 0-abnormal group (23-27% versus 13%; P < .01). This difference was due to subjects with poor glucose control. The means of the GTT values for each sampling time were greater and the GTT periodicity (the time for the GTT curve to return to the fasting level) was longer with an increasing number of GTT abnormal values (zero versus one versus two versus three versus four abnormal values, P < .02). The mean fasting, 2-hour postprandial, and overall mean glucose values during the study were positively associated with the number of abnormal GTT values. CONCLUSIONS: One or more abnormal GTT values were associated with comparably elevated incidences of LGA infants in patients with poor glycemic control. Achievement of recommended glucose control decreased adverse outcomes to near normal levels. 相似文献

The impact of pregnancy and food intake on plasma leptin levels was investigated in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients and healthy normal-weight women. Fourteen women with IDDM and 11 women with no diabetes or family history of diabetes were served a 707-kcal lunch in gestational weeks 34 to 38. Six breast-feeding women from each group were examined a second time within 1 month after delivery. Leptin levels were not different in the two groups either during pregnancy or postpartum. In addition to a positive correlation to body mass index (BMI), leptin levels tended to correlate with gestational weight gain. The leptin concentration during pregnancy was higher than the postpartum level, which was within the range of previously reported levels in non-obese nonpregnant women. Ingestion of the test meal did not affect leptin levels and there were no relationships between leptin and insulin or glucose, for either basal or postprandial (60-minute) levels. Only the insulin dose taken by the diabetic women correlated to leptin level. During pregnancy, there is an augmented energy expenditure and maternal metabolism is altered to increase fat stores. The present observation that leptin levels were elevated in pregnant women suggests an additional role for leptin in the accumulation of body fat. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationship between birth weight and mode of delivery among women with untreated borderline gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), treated overt GDM, and normoglycemia. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Three Toronto, Ontario teaching hospitals. PATIENTS: A total of 3778 volunteers aged 24 years or older. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects underwent a 3-hour long, 100-g oral glucose tolerance test at 28 weeks' gestation, regardless of screening test results. Usual care was provided to 143 women who met the National Diabetes Data Group criteria for GDM. Physicians were blinded to glucose tolerance test results for all others, including 115 untreated women with borderline GDM by the broader criteria of Carpenter and Coustan. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Crude and adjusted rates of cesarean delivery and neonatal macrosomia (birth weight >4000 g). RESULTS: Compared with normoglycemic controls, the untreated borderline GDM group had increased rates of macrosomia (28.7% vs 13.7%, P<.001) and cesarean delivery (29.6% vs 20.2%, P=.02). Cesarean delivery in this subgroup was associated with macrosomia (45.5% vs 23.5%, P=.03). Usual care of known GDM normalized birth weights, but the cesarean delivery rate was about 33% whether macrosomia was present or absent. A clearly increased risk of cesarean delivery among treated patients compared with normoglycemic controls persisted after adjustment for multiple maternal risk factors (adjusted odds ratio, 2.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 3.6). CONCLUSIONS: Infant macrosomia was a mediating factor in high cesarean delivery rates for women with untreated borderline GDM. While detection and treatment of GDM normalized birth weights, rates of cesarean delivery remained inexplicably high. Recognition of GDM may lead to a lower threshold for surgical delivery that mitigates the potential benefits of treatment. 相似文献

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), which is asymptomatic and requires a glucose tolerance test for detection, is a well-known risk factor for diabetes mellitus. Outside the research setting it is rarely identified in people who lack specific risk factors for diabetes except during pregnancy, at which time screening with an oral glucose challenge is a routine procedure. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed during the latter part of pregnancy or during a routine epidemiology survey in 15-39-year-old Pima Indian women with no history of abnormal glucose tolerance. Those with IGT by World Health Organization criteria were included in this study. Diabetes incidence in women was compared between those whose IGT was first detected during pregnancy and those who were not pregnant when IGT was first recognized. Seventeen of 73 pregnant women and 114 of 244 non-pregnant women developed diabetes within 10 years. When controlled for plasma glucose concentration, age, body mass index, parity and duration of follow-up, those who were not pregnant were at higher risk of developing diabetes than those who were pregnant (hazard rate ratio = 1.71, 95% confidence interval = 1.01-2.91). Previous studies had reported that women with IGT during pregnancy are at higher risk of diabetes than women with normal glucose tolerance. This study suggests that women with IGT during pregnancy are at lower risk than non-pregnant women with a similar plasma glucose concentration who, in the clinical setting, are likely to remain unrecognized. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To describe lipid and lipoprotein perturbations in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to examine the potential consequences--e.g, increased birth weight and increased placental lipid transfer. STUDY DESIGN: Maternal and cord free fatty acids (FFAs) and total, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL) (and maternal HDL2 and HDL3), triglyceride (TG), and cholesterol and dietary intake were determined for women with diet-treated GDM and for healthy pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance. RESULTS: Women with GDM had higher hemoglobin A1c than controls, while body weight gain was significantly lower for women with GDM as compared to controls. Plasma and lipoprotein TG concentrations were greater for women with GDM, and although plasma FFAs were higher in women with GDM versus controls, the difference was not significant. No differences were observed between groups with respect to maternal plasma or lipoprotein cholesterol. Cord plasma and lipoprotein lipids were similar between groups; with the exception of VLDL + LDL TG, which was lower in women with GDM. In controls, there were significant correlations between maternal plasma TG and cord FFAs; maternal HDL2 cholesterol and cord plasma cholesterol; and maternal plasma TG, maternal HDL2 cholesterol, cord FFAs, and infant birth weight. In GDM, maternal plasma cholesterol and cord VLDL + LDL cholesterol correlated. There were no significant correlations between maternal or cord lipids and infant birth weight in women with GDM. CONCLUSION: Hypertriglyceridemia, rather than hypercholesterolemia, is a feature of GDM. However, elevations in maternal plasma and lipoprotein TGs in women with GDM were not related to fetal lipid concentrations or infant birth weight. 相似文献
