TNF and gestational diabetes: Therefore, this study aimed to (1) investigate whether whole blood counts, the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the monocyte–lymphocyte ratio (MLR), serum adiponectin levels, and the mRNA expression of inflammatory genes (TLR2, TLR4, pro-inflammatory cytokines: IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, anti-inflammatory cytokines: IL-1RA, IL-10, and adiponectin) in VAT are altered in women with GDM in comparison to pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), and (2) determine the correlations between systemic and local VAT inflammation in all, GDM, and NGT women.
