Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the validity of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures of insulin response in pregnant women across different stages of pregnancy, using multiple testing methods.
- Findings revealed that the Stumvoll measure from OGTT was significantly correlated with first-phase insulin response throughout pregnancy, while AUCins/AUCglu was the best correlate during early and late pregnancy, but not prepregnancy.
- Other measures like IGI and CIR showed significant correlations at varying stages, but overall, Stumvoll and AUCins/AUCglu best reflected changes in insulin response during pregnancy.
Background: Inflammation is a common factor in adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). Behavioral factors influence inflammatory markers and APOs but rarely have been investigated simultaneously in pregnancy. Our purpose was to determine how diet, physical activity, and obesity are associated with interleukin (IL)-6 in early and late pregnancy.
