Relationship between serum oxLDL levels and plasma glucose levels during OGTT in the study groups.
| Groups | Test | r | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| GDM (n=46) | Fasting Plasma glucose | 0.08 | 0.56 |
| 1-hr plasma glucose | 0.24 | 0.1 | |
| 2-hr plasma glucose | 0.15 | 0.29 | |
| Control (n=46) | Fasting plasma glucose | 0.07 | 0.6 |
| 1-hr plasma glucose | 0.04 | 0.75 | |
| 2-hr plasma glucose | 0.3 | 0.04* |
OxLDL: oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
