No significant difference was observed between the groups with respect to maternal age, degree of whole adiposity (i.e., the indices of pre-pregnancy and pregnancy BMI as well as body weight gain), lipid profile, (i.e., TGs, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TC), inflammatory marker (CRP) or insulin-resistance indices, such as plasma insulin level and HOMA-IR (p > 0.05). Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
