Maternal levels of serum vitamin D and some metabolites in glucose-tolerant pregnant women (controls) and women with gestational diabetes (cases)
| Parameters | Controls | Cases |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D, ng/mL | 35.3±9.5a | 26.6±8.7b |
| FPG, mg/dL | 93.18±15.4a | 152.15±28.6b |
| Insulin, pmol/L | 16.39±7.7b | 30.41±13.8a |
| HOMA-IR | 1.07±0.5 | 1.90±0.9 |
| CRP, mg/L | 12.27±6.8a | 20.13±4.5b |
| Zinc, µmol/L | 9.8±3.9a | 4.04±1.2b |
| Ferritin, ng/mL | 26.62±8.51a | 40.57±14.4b |
Values with the same superscript letter within the same column are not statistically different (p > 0.05) between the control and the case groups, while values with different superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; CRP, C-reactive protein.
