Decreased placental and muscular expression of the fibroblast growth factor 19 in gestational diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Aims/Introduction: Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)19 has been shown to improve glycemic homeostasis and lipid metabolism in animal models. In humans, decreased FGF19 level has been described in diabetes. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of FGF19 in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients. Materials and Methods: Samples for measurement were obtained from 20 women with GDM and 25 healthy controls. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein expression levels of FGF19, FGF21 and co-… Show more

“…Moreover, in a recent study of 45 subjects in whom FGF21 levels were measured at the time of elective caesarean section, maternal serum FGF21 levels were comparable between GDM patients and controls. 28 Together, all these studies showing comparable circulating FGF21 levels in pregnant women with and without GDM were not consistent with the beneficial effects of FGF21 on glucose metabolism found in animal studies. 13,18 The main reason for these discrepant results may be that all of these studies were very small and the results may simply be a reflection of chance findings.…”

“…Despite the positive findings from the study of Nitert et al,15 data on FGF21 expression in the placenta are discordant. In a recent study by Wang et al,28 no significant differences were found between GDM women and controls in regard to FGF21 mRNA and protein levels in the placenta. This difference could be partly explained by the different diagnostic criteria of GDM between the two studies, resulting in the fact that glycaemic levels of subjects in the Wang et al study were significantly higher than those in the Nitert et al study.…”

“…Downregulation of FGF19 may be associated with the status of sarcopenia in the UC patient group, since 66.7%(26/39) of them had muscle invasive diseases. Furthermore, diabetes and low visceral fat condition may also be associated with lower FGF19 level in previous studies [20,21]. All above reasons could be the possible confounding factors of FGF19 downregulation in UC patients.…”
