Figure 1

(a) Comparison of FABP4 level in GDM women and in controls based on BMI. In the GDM group vs. (15530 (10601-19309) vs. 2930 (2060-4750) pg/ml) (). In controls, vs. (12613 (9497-15726) vs. 5730 (3155-9425) pg/ml) (). GDM vs. controls with (). Every dot represents the value of FABP4 in pg/ml for one person. Abbreviations: GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus; FABP4: fatty acid-binding protein 4. (b) Comparison of I-FABP level in GDM women and in controls based on BMI. In the GDM group, vs. (42.0 (151.7-900.2) vs. 590 (255.0-937.5) pg/ml) (). In controls, vs. (353.3 (221.0-547.1) vs. 655.0 (492.5-1153.0) pg/ml) (). The outlier in the control group with I-FABP value of 10050 pg/ml (pregnancy 28 week, 24-year-old healthy female) was excluded from graphic presentation but not from statistical analysis. Every dot represents the value of I-FABP in pg/ml for one person. Abbreviations: GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus; I-FABP: intestinal fatty acid-binding protein.
