Objectives: To evaluate whether serum RBP4 correlates with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a cohort of borderline obese (BMI > 30) pregnant women. Design and methods: Serum RBP4 and retinol were measured in pregnant women with (n = 12) and without (n = 10) GDM. Results: RBP4, retinol and RBP4:retinol molar ratio were not different between the groups and were not associated with markers of insulin resistance. Conclusions: GDM is not associated with RBP4 or retinol among borderline obese pregnant women. (C) 2009 The Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
