Retinol-binding protein-4 is not strongly associated with insulin sensitivity in normal pregnancies.

Abstract: Objective: Recently, experimental and clinical studies suggest that retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) may provide a link between obesity and insulin resistance. However, no previous studies have investigated the impact of circulating RBP4 on measures of insulin resistance in normal pregnant women, and the objective of this study is to measure serum RBP4 in early and late pregnancy and relate these to measures of insulin resistance and secretion controlling for changes in fat mass. Design and methods: Samples we… Show more

“…However, some researchers have reported conflicting findings. Ueland et al [26] found that serum RBP4 levels were lower in women with GDM, which they suggested might be due to the variations in the BMI levels of their subjects. Krzyzanowska et al [27] similarly found that women with GDM had lower serum RBP4 levels and reported that women with GDM had higher molar ratios of RBP4 to retinol than healthy controls.…”

“…Ueland et al [97] reported a significant increase in fasting RBP-4 from early to late pregnancy, and this change was associated with a decline in insulin sensitivity. In contrast, Inoue et al [98] demonstrated that RBP-4 level tended to decrease after early gestation with no obvious difference between mid-to late-gestation.…”

“…Исследования РСБ-4 в сыворотке крови при нор-мальной беременности показали противоречивые результаты. Так, концентрация РСБ-4 значительно увеличивалась между ранними и поздними сроками беременности, что связано со снижением чувствительности к инсулину [44]. В противополож-ность, Inoue и соавт.…”
