Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine serum levels of spexin in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a condition characterized by severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
- Conducted at a hospital in Turkey, the research involved 80 pregnant women, comparing 40 diagnosed with HG to 40 healthy controls.
- Results showed that women with HG had significantly higher serum spexin levels (342.4 pg/ml) compared to the control group (272.8 pg/ml), suggesting a potential link between spexin and HG symptoms that warrants further investigation.
