Measurements of blood serum phosphatidyl inosites in pregnant women with normal body mass and with obesity in whom pregnancy ran normal or pathological course showed that phosphatidyl inositol levels increased 2-3-fold in case of threatened miscarriage and decreased 2-3-fold if symptoms of late gestosis appeared (an abnormal gain in body mass) as compared to their levels in women with an uneventful course of pregnancy.
