“…Although body mass index and maternal lipid profile of the participants are missing in our study, maternal weight (prepregnancy, at serum sampling and at birth) was not correlated with SHBG levels. In contrast, in a cross‐sectional study, second‐trimester SHBG was correlated with body mass index 21 . Elevated levels of triglycerides in pregnancy might explain the potential role that lipogenesis may play in suppressing levels of SHBG and development of insulin resistance.…”

“…In our study, although women subsequently diagnosed with GDM had significantly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures compared with normal pregnancies, no correlation was found between early gestational age SHBG levels and blood pressures. In a previous study, second trimester maternal plasma SHBG concentrations were significantly lower in women who subsequently developed pre‐eclampsia than in women with normal pregnancy outcomes 21 . On the contrary, in another study, first‐trimester maternal serum SHBG concentrations were no different from controls in women who subsequently develop pre‐eclampsia and pregnancy‐induced hypertension 29 .…”

“…), would be closely related to the onset of stillbirths during the first trimester and of pathologies affecting the mother-child binomial. The etiopathogenesis of such conditions would involve endothelial dysfunction and/or predisposing metabolic conditions having an abnormal placentation, as that seen in PE, as a common denominator [17,18,19,20,21,22]. PE shares a series of pathophysiological findings with IR, among which are the following: endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and inflammation.…”
