More recently, relying on phthalate levels quantified in the serum of 201 women (at the time of delivery), Wang and colleagues found that MBP was the most abundant metabolite in this population sample, and they also showed a significant association between MBP and MiBP levels and the 2 h blood glucose, which in turn is related to GDM [35]. The gene discussed is MBP; the disease is gestational diabetes.
