The Exercise-Induced Irisin Is Associated with Improved Levels of Glucose Homeostasis Markers in Pregnant Women Participating in 8-Week Prenatal Group Fitness Program: A Pilot Study

Table 3

Correlations between irisin, lipids, and glucose homeostasis markers in physically active pregnant women .

Irisin (ng⋅ml^−1)	Before exercise program	After exercise program
	21st week of gestation	29th week of gestation
Glucose (mg⋅dl^−1)
HbA1c (%)
Insulin (µlU⋅ml^−1)
TG (mg⋅dl^−1)
TC (mg⋅dl^−1)
LDL (mg⋅dl^−1)
HDL (mg⋅dl^−1)

Univariate correlations were assessed using standardized Spearman coefficients; the p value obtained of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; TG: triglycerides; TC: total cholesterol; LDL: low density-lipoproteins; HDL: high density-lipoproteins.
