Circulating FABP4, nesfatin-1, and osteocalcin concentrations in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Recent studies have investigated the circulating adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (FABP4), nesfatin-1, and osteocalcin (OC) concentrations in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but the findings prove to be conflicting. The objective of this research was to systematically assess the relationship of circulating levels of above adipokines with GDM.

Methods

Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane library, OVID, and Scopus were performed to locate articles published up to January 31, 2020. Pooled standard mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and 95% predictive intervals (PIs) were calculated by random-effects models to compare levels of adipokines between GDM cases and control groups. Cumulative and single-arm meta-ana
