Aims: This study is aimed at assessing the association of previously developed indices of glucose homeostasis derived from principal component analysis (PCA) with parameters of insulin action, secretion, and beta cell function during pregnancy.
Methods: In this prospective longitudinal study, an oral glucose tolerance test was performed in sixty-seven pregnant women at two prepartum (12+0 to 22+6 and 24+0 to 28+6) and one postpartum (2 to 11 months) visits. Three principal component scores (PCS) were calculated based on measurements of glucose, insulin, C-peptide, age, and BMI to assess their association with fasting and dynamic indices of insulin action, secretion, and -cell function.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency results in various biochemical and phenotypic conditions in women, ranging from severe manifestations like salt-wasting crises to milder forms such as hirsutism and acne.
- The study aimed to analyze sexual function, gender identity, and partner preferences among women diagnosed with classic CAH (C-CAH) and nonclassic CAH (NC-CAH).
- Results indicated that women with NC-CAH experienced lower orgasm scores, higher sexual distress, and demonstrated biochemical and clinical signs of hyperandrogenism compared to those with C-CAH.
