Understanding the Effects of Fetuin-A in Pregnancy
نویسنده
چکیده
Human fetuin-A has emerged as a provocative molecule which actions in pregnancy have become the subject of research especially since the last decade. Also known as alpha-2 HeremansSchmid glycoprotein, fetuin-A is a circulating glycoprotein produced in increased amounts during fetal life by various tissues. Similar fetuin-A concentrations in maternal serum and umbilical cord suggest passive placental transfer of fetuin-A during pregnancy [1]. The concentration of fetuin-A in plasma decreases soon after delivery [2]. In the adult life, it is actively secreted into the blood stream mainly by the liver [3]. Research investigating the effects of fetuin-A in pregnancy has emerged after the following concepts:

Objective. Fetuin-A has been associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We investigated fetuin-A levels during and after pregnancy in women with GDM. Fetuin-A measurements were performed in 10 women with GDM and 10 age and body mass index (BMI) matched healthy pregnant women. All women underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in and 3 months after gestation. Results. Fasting fe...

Background :Some results exist on fetuin-A as marker for vascular disease in type 2diabetes. We examined the relationship between serum fetuin-A with some factors, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods : From October 2012 to June 2013, a total of 131 T2DM patients were recruited and evaluated for various parameters including HOMA-IR, Apo-A1, Apo-B100, body fat percentage...
