Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare serum Metrnl levels in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) to those without it, involving a total of 180 participants.
- Results showed that women with GDM had significantly lower median serum Metrnl levels (1.16 ng/mL) compared to healthy controls (2.2 ng/mL).
- The study concluded that decreased serum Metrnl levels in GDM patients could indicate a potential biomarker for the condition, although the reasons for this decrease are still unknown and require further research.

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.
Objective: Preeclampsia, whose pathophysiology is still not fully elucidated today, is a pregnancy-specific disease that affects most organ systems in pregnant women, including the central nervous system. In this context, we aimed to investigate the effects of preeclampsia on blood flow in the ophthalmic artery of the eye, which is considered a part of the central nervous system.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, non-interventional cohort study was conducted between February 2022 and June 2022 at Umraniye Training and Research Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objective: Studies have shown that members of the salusin family regulate the migration and proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells and increase the tendency to atherosclerosis through fibrosis and calcification in the vascular wall. However, the effect of salusins on the uterine artery has not yet been investigated. This study was conducted to investigate whether serum salusin alpha and beta concentrations in the first trimester are associated with diastolic notching in uterine artery Doppler.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of Umraniye Training and Research Hospital. The preeclampsia group consisted of 40 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia, and the control group consisted of 40 healthy pregnant women matched with the preeclampsia group in terms of age and body mass index.
