Objective The mechanisms underlying insulin resistance during normal pregnancy, and its further exacerbation in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), are generally unknown. Inositolphosphoglycan P-type (P-IPG), a putative second messenger of insulin, correlates with the degree of insulin resistance in diabetic subjects. An increase during normal pregnancy, in maternal and fetal compartments, has recently been reported.Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in 48 women with GDM and 23 healthy pregnant women. Urinary levels of P-IPG were assessed spectrophotometrically by the activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase in urinary specimens and correlated with clinical parameters.Results Urinary excretion of P-IPG was higher in GDM than in control women (312.1 +/- 151.0 vs. 210.6 +/- 82.7 nmol NADH/min/mg creatinine, P < 0.01) with values increasing throughout pregnancy in control subjects (r(2) = 0.34, P < 0.01). P-IPG correlated with blood glucose levels (r(2) = 0.39, P < 0.01 for postprandial glycaemia and r(2) = 0.18 P < 0.01 for mean glycaemia) and birthweight in the diabetic group (r(2) = 0.14, P < 0.01).Conclusions Increased P-IPG urinary excretion occurs in GDM and positively correlates with blood glucose levels. P-IPG may play a role in maternal glycaemic control and, possibly, fetal growth in GDM.
