[Evaluation of adiponectin and TNFalpha genes expression in women with gestational diabetes. Preliminary results].

Objectives: Recent studies suggest the essential role of different cytokines realised from adipose tissue in pathogenesis of gestational diabetes. The aim of the study was evaluation of adiponectin (diabetes development protective factor) and TNFalpha (one of the most important insulin resistance mediator) genes expression in maternal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue as well as placental tissue.

Material And Methods: The study group consists of patients with gestational diabetes, healthy pregnant glucose tolerant women represented the control group.
