Serum levels and VAT gene expression of omentin-1 are not independently linked to GDM; notwithstanding, GDM women have a VAT-altered inflammatory status. In addition, no systemic association between omentin-1 and inflammatory factors was found, whereas associations between their expression in all women were observed, indicating that expression of these adipokines is linked between them regardless of GDM.
