In contrast to the anti-inflammatory adipokines irisin and vaspin, the pro-inflammatory adipokines visfatin (GDM-G1: 1.65 ng/mL, GDM-G2: 1.19 ng/mL and non-GDM: 1.30 ng/mL), dermcidin (GDM-G1: 134.51 ng/mL, GDM-G2: 138.58 ng/mL and non-GDM: 124.70 ng/mL) and chemerin (GDM-G1: 0.57 ng/mL, GDM-G2: 1.10 ng/mL and non-GDM: 1.26 ng/mL) were not affected by GDM regardless of its severity. Here, RARRES2 is linked to gestational diabetes.
