GH: gestational hypertension; BMI: body mass index; sICAM-1: soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1; ADMA: asymmetric dimethylarginine; : statistical significance; NS: statistically not significant. Statistical data analysis: the Shapiro–Wilk test, one-tailed Student’s t-test, Cochran–Cox test, and the Mann–Whitney U test.
