Abstract:

As dyslipidemia is frequently associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, the aim of this study was to establish a correlation between the evolution of the maternal lipid profile evaluated in the first and third pregnancy trimester for a series of parameters: triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), blood sugar fasting (BSF), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), TG/HDL-C ratio, leptin and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus occurrence. The results were statistically interpreted, establishing the mean value of the obtained results and the standard deviation. From the studied parameters, only HDL-C and Tyg were statistically significant different in the first trimester for the two study groups, while in the third trimester statistically significant differences were observed also for triglycerides, blood sugar fasting and the TG/HDL-C ratio.
