Maternal insulin resistance and preeclampsia

Abstract: Objective To determine whether midtrimester insulin resistance (IR) is associated with subsequent preeclampsia. Study Design This is a secondary analysis of 10,154 nulliparas administered vitamin C and E or placebo daily from 9-16 weeks' gestation until delivery. Of these, 1,187 women had fasting plasma glucose and insulin tested between 22 and 26 weeks' gestation. IR was calculated by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI). Results Obese wo… Show more

“…Several abnormalities associated with the development of PE such as lower plasma volume, activation of complement system, hyperferritinemia, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome are also more prevalent among overweight or obese uninfected patients 22-26 . Futhermore, overweight has been associated with oxidative stress consisting of an imbalance of lipid metabolism and an inflammatory state that is also associated with PE 27 .…”

“…Compared to women who have normotensive pregnancies, women who develop preeclampsia are more insulin resistant prior to pregnancy [14], in the first and second trimesters [15], and years after pregnancy [16]. This effect is partially explained by the fact that many preeclampsia risk factors are also associated with insulin resistance, including obesity, advanced maternal age, non-white race, chronic hypertension, diabetes and gestational diabetes [15, 14]. However, insulin resistance at 22-26 weeks gestation was a significant independent predictor of preeclampsia after adjustment for these common risk factors, suggesting an independent effect [15].…”

“…This hypothesis has been confirmed by a recent publication stating that a diagnosis of IR during pregnancy predisposes to the onset of PE. In that study, primigravid women with a diagnosis of IR determined by a homeostasis model assessment of IR and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index between gestation weeks 22 and 26 had a higher incidence of PE than control patients (40.5 vs. 24.8%) [23]. …”
