Background: This study aimed to evaluate the role of serum Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), Glucagon-Like Peptide-2 (GLP-2), and Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) levels in relation to obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnancy.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted, including 96 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies who underwent the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) for GDM diagnosis during the 24th-28th weeks of gestation. Blood samples were collected for measuring GLP-1, GLP-2, GIP, and fasting glucose.
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the impact of carbohydrate ratios in the diet consumed one day prior to the 75-g oral glucose screening test on both the screening test values and the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus in the unselective pregnant population.
Material-method: 83 pregnant women who were under observation in the antenatal clinic of our hospital and underwent glucose tolerance tests were included in the study. The patients were given training by a dietitian to keep nutrition records of the day prior to glucose loading during their previous visits before any glucose loading.
Introduction: We aimed to investigate whether maternal serum kisspeptin levels are associated with late-onset FGR and contribute to adverse perinatal outcomes.
Method: In this case-control study, a total of 90 pregnant women admitted to the perinatology clinic were enrolled. Forty-five of them were diagnosed with FGR and 45 women with healthy pregnancies formed the control group.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of whole blood parameters, systemic inflammatory indices, and systemic inflammatory markers in pregnant women with COVID-19.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the demographic, clinical, and laboratory data (i.e.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection on thyroid function tests (TFTs) in pregnant women and to evaluate whether TFT changes are related to the severity and prognosis.
Methods: Consecutive pregnant women tested for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR at Ankara City Hospital were recruited between January 2021 and September 2021. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3), thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO), and thyroglobulin antibody (anti-TG) were measured on admission.
