Elevated CMPF impairs glucose metabolism in gestational diabetes mellitus populations. a–e Correlation analyses between CMPF and HbA1c, FPG, 1 h-PG, 2 h-PG, and AUC for glucose, respectively. Pearson’s bivariate correlation analyses showed that CMPF was positively correlated with HbA1c, FPG, 1 h-PG, 2 h-PG, and AUC for glucose. A 2-h OGTT was performed, and the corresponding blood glucose levels and HbA1c were determined in the gestational diabetes and normal glucose tolerance groups. AUC for glucose: n = 140 for GDM and n = 225 for NGT. LG log-transformed
