Association of gestational serum adiponectin with postpartum glycaemic outcomes in GDM: a prospective cohort study

Key Points

• To examine the relationship between gestational serum adiponectin levels and postpartum glycemic outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
• Conducted a prospective cohort study
• Measured adiponectin levels during gestation
• Assessed postpartum glycemic outcomes
• Identified low adiponectin as an independent risk factor for adverse postpartum metabolic outcomes
• Demonstrated that changes in adiponectin levels reflect metabolic recovery capacity
