Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) levels and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), focusing on both Lp-PLA2 concentration and genetic variations.
- A total of 82 GDM patients and 89 healthy pregnant women were analyzed to measure Lp-PLA2 as well as several lipid levels, while specific gene polymorphisms were assessed using advanced laboratory techniques.
- Results showed higher Lp-PLA2 levels in GDM patients compared to the control group, with significant genetic associations found in one specific polymorphism (rs76863441), suggesting Lp-PLA2 and this polymorphism could serve as potential markers for GDM risk assessment.
