Background: The study was planned to evaluate the association between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and Postpartum Depression (PPD) in a rural population of Odisha, Eastern India.

Material And Methods: Pregnant women in the first trimester were recruited and followed up till six weeks of postpartum. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus was assessed with 75 grams glucose challenge test and PPD was assessed at six weeks after delivery with Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Statistical difference between variables was assessed using Chi-square test, Fischer's exact test, and unpaired -test. Covariates were adjusted using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to estimate the association between GDM and PPD.

Results: Out of 436 pregnant women recruited, 347 (89.6%) remained in the study. Prevalence of GDM was 13.9% (95% CI: 10.7-17.3) and PPD was 9.8% (95% CI: 6.6-12.9). Incidence of PPD in the GDM group was 14.58% (95% CI: 4.2-24.9) and in women without GDM was 9.06% (95% CI: 5.76-12.3). However, the association was not significant on multivariate logistic regression (Risk Ratio (RR) = 1.56, 95% C.I: 0.61-6.16; value = 0.35).

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that women with GDM were at higher risk of developing PPD suggesting that an "at risk" approach should be implemented for screening.

Objective: There is no evidence to suggest that an association exists between the remnant cholesterol (RC) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In this study, the RC/HDL-C ratio during the first trimester was examined as a potential indicator of the onset of GDM during the second trimester.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data from a Korea-based prospective cohort study.

O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT)-catalyzed O-linked N-acetylglucosamine glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is closely associated with diabetes progression. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of OGT in regulating endothelial dysfunction in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Expressions of OGT, O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), and HEK27me3 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and GDM-derived HUVECs (GDM-HUVECs) were assessed by western blot.
