NCT04617405

Brief Summary

The first aim of this study is to describe maternal hormonal and inflammatory changes during pregnancy in women that differ metabolically (limited to women with type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and/or overweight). The second aim of this study is to examine maternal hormonal, inflammatory and metabolic factors associated with insulin sensitivity in human pregnancy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Changes from baseline in serum or plasma concentration of metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory markers at four other times during pregnancy.

    Serum concentration of IGF-1, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-1, FGF-21, Leptin, Adiponectin, CD163, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, Progesterone, C-peptide, Cortisol, Prolactin, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Estradiol, Free fatty acids, Human Placental Lactogen and Human Placental Growth Hormone. Plasma concentrations of IL-6, IL-10, IL-1alpha, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, ICAM1, VCAM, LDL, HDL, Triglyceride, Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase, Thyrotropin, glucose and HbA1c.

    Gestational week 8-10 (baseline), gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

  • Assocation between the serum or plasma concentration of metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory markers Versus Insulin sensitivity at five times during pregnancy.

    Association between the metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory markers listed as Primary Outcome 1 and the Insulin sensitivity. Insulin sensitivity will be estimated using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) based on fasting insulin and glucose concentrations.

    Gestational week 8-10, gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

  • Changes from baseline in the level, content and bioactivity of exosomes in serum and plasma at four other times during pregnancy.

    Exosomes will be isolated and profiling of the content will be performed using SWATH mass spectrometry and miRNA sequencing.

    Gestational week 8-10 (baseline), gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

  • Association between the level, content and bioactivity of exosomes in serum and plasma Versus Insulin sensitivity at five times during pregnancy.

    Exosomes will be isolated and profiling of the content will be performed using SWATH mass spectrometry and miRNA sequencing. Insulin sensitivity will be estimated using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) based on fasting insulin and glucose concentrations.

    Gestational week 8-10, gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Changes from baseline in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) at four other times during pregnancy.

    Gestational week 8-10 (baseline), gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

  • Changes from baseline in body weight at four other times during pregnancy.

    Gestational week 8-10 (baseline), gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

  • Association between the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) Versus Insulin sensitivity at five times during pregnancy.

    Gestational week 8-10, gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

  • Association between the body weight Versus Insulin sensitivity at five times during pregnancy.

    Gestational week 8-10, gestational week 10-14, gestational week 18-22, gestational week 24-28 and gestational week 34-38

  • Pregnant women at The Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Aarhus University Hospital, Aalborg University Hospital or Odense University Hospital.
  • Women have to be in 1 of 4 categories: Healthy with a BMI \< 25, healthy with a BMI \>= 25, diagnosed with gestational diabetes before gestational week 20 or diagnosed with pregestational type 2 diabetes

You may not qualify if:

  • Age \< 18 years
  • Not able to read and understand danish
