Clinical gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is frequently associated with hyperlipidemia comorbidity. Altered human gut microbiome has been linked to GDM and hyperlipidemia, respectively but not the comorbid condition. We hypothesize that the occurrence of hyperlipidemia with GDM may be characterized by distinguishable gut microbiome and blood metabolomic patterns. We presented comprehensive microbiomic coupled with lipidomics analyses to characterize gut microbiota and lipometabolism of plasma samples in women with GDM only, hyperlipidemia only and those with diabetes plus hyperlipidemia, and to explore association of the gut microbiota composition with blood lipid profiles and clinical parameters of gestational diabetes with or without commodity. We found that the relative abundance of bacterial taxa
Streptococcus
,
Faecalibacterium
,
Veillonella
,
Prevotella
,
Haemophilus
and
Actinomyces
was significantly higher in diabetes plus hyperlipidemia cohorts. Moreover, several bacteria were correlated with fasting plasma glucose and blood lipid levels of the participants with GDM and hyperlipidemia. The altered plasma lipidome in subjects with diabetes plus hyperlipidemia suggested that characteristic blood lipid profiles were associated with the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes plus hyperlipidemia. Collectively, this study provides insights on changes in fecal microbiota and plasma lipidome to predict and characterize the development of gestational diabetes with lipid metabolic abnormality.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
