Core Tip
Core Tip: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses a great risk to mothers and infants. During this research, proteomics techniques were applied to investigate the differentially expressed proteins in the serum of the GDM patients to further explore its pathogenesis, and to search for potential biomarkers for disease forecast. Subjects were divided into GDM and normal control groups according to the IADPSG diagnostic criteria. Key proteins and signaling pathways associated with GDM were identified by bioinformatics analysis, and the expression of key proteins in serum from 12 wk to 16 wk of gestation was further verified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
