Regarding cross-sectional associations in the early postpartum (Table 3), CRP correlated with higher weight and body fat, increased insulin resistance (higher HOMA-IR and lower MATSUDA), absolute insulin secretion (HOMA-B and AUCins/glu) and reduced relative insulin secretion (ISSI-2) (all p ≤ 0.009). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Insulin resistance.
