ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) concentration in peripheral blood of normal gravidas at different stages during pregancy and the differential expression of serum RBP4 in gravidas with fetal growth restriction (FGR) in second trimester.Methods This study enrolled 80 gravidas who received routine prenatal examination and delivered in the Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2014 to January 2015,Forty gravidas were classified to FGR group as the birth weight of their fetuses was below two standard deviations or below the 10th percentile for the corresponding gestationas and same sex,or less than 2 500 g after 37 weeks.The other 40 gravidas who delivered newborns with normal birth weight (2 500 g < birth weight < 4 000 g) were used as control group.Levels of serum RBP4,plasma albumin,fasting blood glucose,triglyceride,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C),hemoglobin,fasting insulin and vitamin A were determined before pregnancy and at 12-16,20-24,28-32 and 36-40 weeks of gestation.Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated.Independent sample t test or analysis of variance,Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used for statistical analysis.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between peripheral blood RBP4 level and neonatal birth weight at 20-24 weeks.Results (1) Serum RBP4 levels in normal gravidas were (24.65± 10.02),(29.86±23.40),(56.10± 12.28),(65.80±20.56) and (53.71 ±24.17) μg/ml before pregnancy and at 12-16,20-24,28-32 and 36-40 weeks of gestation,respectively,showing a gradually increasing trend with gestational week until a peak at 28-32 weeks and then followed by a decrease (F=14.173,P<0.001).(2) The body mass index and placental weight of gravidas in FGR group were lower than those in control group [20.7±3.3 vs 22.9±2.1,(401.3±56.2) vs (501.3±64.7) g;t=22.590 and 2.487,both P<0.05].(3) The fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,HOMA-IR,RBP4 and plasma albumin in FGR group were lower than those in control group [(4.06± 0.4) vs (4.38 ± 0.4) mmol/L,(21.84± 15.2) vs (31.76 ± 1.5) μ U/ml,0.5 ± 0.2 vs 0.7±0.2,(41.78± 12.8) vs (65.80±20.5) μg/ml,(35.1 ±2.7) vs (36.5±2.3) g/L;t=3.419,2.355,3.419,6.263 and 2.462,all P<0.05].Maternal serum RBP-4 at 20-24 weeks of normal gravidas and FGR gravidas were positively correlated with the birth weight of newborns (r=0.717 and 0.748,both P<0.05).Conclusions Serum RBP4 of gravidas may be associated with the occurrence of FGR.
