Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the correlation between serum apelin and galectin-3 levels with insulin resistance (IR) in women with preeclampsia (PE).

Methods: Serum apelin, galectin-3, and insulin levels were measured in 60 PE women and 30 normotensive pregnant.

Results: The PE group had significantly lower apelin and higher galectin-3 levels than the control group. PE group exhibited dyslipidemia and had higher β-cell functions than the controls. Galectin-3 level correlates with insulin, glucose, and IR. High galectin-3 also is correlated positively with dyslipidemia.

Conclusion: In PE, there is a possible contribution of galectin-3 to the harmful effects of IR and dyslipidemia.

目的:探讨子痫前期(PE)妇女血清apelin和galectin-3水平与胰岛素抵抗(IR)的关系。方法:测定60例PE妇女和30例正常妊娠妇女血清apelin、半乳糖凝集素-3和胰岛素水平。结果:PE组apelin水平明显低于对照组，galectin-3水平明显高于对照组。PE组表现为血脂异常，β细胞功能高于对照组。半乳糖凝集素-3水平与胰岛素、葡萄糖和IR相关。高半乳糖凝集素-3也与血脂异常呈正相关。结论:在PE中，半乳糖凝集素-3可能参与了IR和血脂异常的有害影响。
