Fetal Exposure to Altered Amniotic Fluid Glucose, Insulin, and Insulin-Like Growth Factor–Binding Protein 1 Occurs Before Screening for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
OBJECTIVE We explored the possibility that perturbations in amniotic fluid glucose, insulin, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1(IGFBP1) and/or metabolic acids exist before routine screening for GDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We selected consenting mother-infant pairs (n = 408) who met our inclusion criteria (singleton pregnancy, no genetic abnormalities, and no preexisting dia...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor concentration in the early second-trimester amniotic fluid does not predict fetal growth at birth.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) concentrations in the early second-trimester amniotic fluid predict fetal growth at birth. HGF and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations in the early second-trimester amniotic fluid were measured in 12 pregnancies with small for gestational age (SGA) infants, 84 pregnancies with appropriate for gestat...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their inhibitors (TIMP) in second trimester amniotic fluid of women with hypertensive disorders compared to normotensive women. STUDY DESIGN Amniotic fluid was obtained from 133 women undergoing genetic second trimester amniocentesis. Zymography was performed for MMP characterization and an MMP-2 ELISA kit was used to determi...
متن کاملIsolation and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells obtained from second trimester amniotic fluid; experiments at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of current techniques for isolating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from amniotic fluid obtained by second-trimester amniocentesis as well as to determine their differentiation potential. METHODS We collected 50 samples of amniotic fluid by second-trimester amniocentesis. To obtain MSCs from amniotic fluid, the fluid was cultured u...
متن کاملAmniotic Fluid β2- Microglobulin Measurements
OBJECTIVE: To determine β2-microglobulin levels in amniotic fluid during the course of second trimester. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred patient’s amniotic fluid β2-microglobulin levels had been evaluated retrospectively (March-October 2009). The most common amniocentesis indication was advanced maternal age (33.3%). Others were; high risk result for triple test (18.5%), high risk result for double t...
