Untargeted LC-MS/MS profiling identifies metabolite networks associated with glycemic dysregulation in diabetes cohorts
A new chemical link connects early diabetes risks to specific proteins in your blood
This cohort study profiled 15,470 serum metabolite features in people with normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes.
Scientists found a specific chemical pattern that grows stronger as diabetes gets worse, offering a fresh view on how the disease starts.
Early pregnancy FT4 levels show non-linear association with gestational diabetes mellitus risk in 40,682 women
Low-Normal Thyroid Hormones Raise Diabetes Risk
This retrospective cohort study of 40,682 pregnant women evaluated early pregnancy thyroid hormones (FT4, TSH) against normal function range…
Even thyroid numbers that look "normal" on a lab report might actually signal a higher chance of developing gestational diabetes.
Lower early pregnancy Lp(a) levels associated with higher gestational diabetes risk in retrospective cohort
A Simple Blood Test in Early Pregnancy May Flag Diabetes Risk
A retrospective cohort study of 14,527 pregnant women found that lower serum Lp(a) levels within the first 20 weeks of gestation were associ…
Low levels of a cholesterol-linked protein in early pregnancy are linked to a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes later on.
Questions about normal glucose tolerance
How many pregnant women were in the Lp(a) gestational diabetes risk study?
