Abstract: The plasma adiponectin levels in women are analyzed with gestational diabetes mellitus because gestational diabetes is associated with obesity and decreased insulin sensitivity. The results show that decreased plasma adiponectin levels were found in women with gestational diabetes mellitus compared with unaffected women.
