Autophagy-Related Genes	NW n = 16	OB GDM(−) n = 18	OB GDM(+) n = 13
NRF2 A	0.433 ± 0.128	0.437 ± 0.203	0.449 ± 0.181
HIF-1α B	0.235 ± 0.080	0.275 ± 0.168	0.218 ± 0.087
VEGF A	0.524± 0.198	0.447 ± 0.158	0.354 ± 0.243

Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. Data were analyzed depending on their distribution with: ^A. One-way ANOVA or ^B. Kruskal–Wallis test.
