Abstract:Aim
C1q/TNF-related protein 6 (CTRP6) is a novel adipokine involved in insulin resistance. Thus, we aim to investigate the expression profile of CTRP6 in plasma, adipose tissue and placenta of GDM patients and mice.
Methods
Pregnant women (GDM n = 9, control n = 10) with a scheduled caesarean section delivery were recruited. High fat diet (HFD) induced C57BL/6 pregnancy mice were chosen as an animal model of GDM. Circulating levels of CTRP6 and adiponectin were examined by ELISA. CTRP6 expression in adipose … Show more
