SOCS3 mRNA expression analyses were performed in both adipose tissues, SAT group comparisons showed higher levels in GDM although this was not statistically significant (GDM: 394.6 ± 68.6 vs. NGT: 273.0 ± 43.2, P = 0.091) however, a significant increase in the VAT of women with GDM (GDM: 445.1 ± 61.6 vs. NGT: 267.6 ± 38.2, P = 0.016) was detected (Figure 1B). This evidence concerns the gene SOCS3 and gestational diabetes.
