TY - JOUR T1 - A Study on the Association of Copper and Zinc Serum Levels with Insulin Resistance Indices in Gestational Diabetes A1 - Fazloddin Fahimi Moghaddam A1 - Jamshid Mehrzad A1 - Jafar Saeidi A1 - Ahmad Ghasemi JF - International Journal of Pharmaceutical And Phytopharmacological Research JO - Int J Pharm Phytopharmacol Res SN - 2250-1029 Y1 - 2020 VL - 10 IS - 4 SP - 231 EP - 236 N2 - Objectives: The levels of serum Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu) between pregnant women with GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus) have been compared to non-GDM ones, then the association between insulin resistance indices with the above two elements has been investigated. Methods: 460 pregnant women (210 with GDM and 250 without diabetes) referred to Central Kashmar Laboratory between September 2018 and May 2020, participated in this study. Mann-Whitney U and Independent sample t-test were used to compare zinc, copper, and insulin resistance indices between the two groups. The relationship between insulin resistance indices with serum Zn and Cu in the two above groups was examined using a linear regression test. Results: Differences in the levels of Cu (P UR - https://eijppr.com/article/a-study-on-the-association-of-copper-and-zinc-serum-levels-with-insulin-resistance-indices-in-gestational-diabetes ER -
