  Purpose

The researchers investigated nineteen pregnant women in third trimester and again postpartum. At the experimental days we performed a mealtest and drew blood for analyses of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), insulin, C-peptide and glucagon.

The researchers aimed to investigate whether women with gestational diabetes mellitus exhibit decreased postprandial GLP-1 responses, and if so, whether this deficiency ceases following delivery when normal glucose tolerance is reestablished.

Detailed Description:

The researchers investigated nineteen pregnant women in third trimester and again postpartum. At the experimental days we performed a mealtest and drew blood for analyses of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), insulin, C-peptide and glucagon.

The researchers aimed to investigate whether women with gestational diabetes mellitus exhibit decreased postprandial GLP-1 responses, and if so, whether this deficiency ceases following delivery when normal glucose tolerance is reestablished.

  Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:   Female
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population

Healthy pregnant woman were examined with a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Subjects with plasma glucose (PG) values at 120 min >9.0 mmol/l were diagnosed with gestational diabetes and subjects with PG <9.0 mmol/l were enrolled as healthy controls.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Normal haemoblobin
  • Willingness to participate

Exclusion Criteria:
