Abstract
BACKGROUND Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are bioactive glycans first detected in human milk. Their presence in maternal blood during pregnancy suggests systemic functions. Dynamics and associations of the most abundant prenatal HMOs in relation to maternal BMI and serum lipids in a cohort of 87 pregnant women with either overweight or obesity are studied. METHODS Serum HMOs (2'FL, 3'SL, 3'SLN, LDFT), serum lipids (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides), and BMI are measured at 15, 24, and 32 weeks of gestation. RESULTS 2'FL and LDFT are negatively correlated to pre-pregnancy BMI and increase significantly slower between 15 and 24 weeks in highly obese women. Women without detectable increase of serum 2'FL (non-secretors) show a less pronounced gestational weight gain and lower BMI in the third trimester as compared to women phenotype as secretors. Higher early-pregnancy 2'FL is associated with high HDL and low triglycerides in pregnancy. On the other hand, higher 3'SL at 15 weeks is associated with higher triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS Higher early-pregnancy 2'FL is associated with a cardioprotective lipid profile, whereas higher 3'SL is associated with an atherogenic lipid profile. Serum trajectories of 2'FL and LDFT in obese women suggest an obesity mediated delay of α-1,2-fucosylation.

J Clin Lipidol 2023; 17:765-776. [PMID: 37827926 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2023.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Little knowledge on the association of blood lipid levels with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in twin pregnancy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of blood lipid levels with HDP in twin pregnancy. METHODS This is a retrospective study in the Beijing Birth Cohort on patients followed between January 2014 and November 2021. A total of 2628 women pregnant with twins were included and divided into HDP (n = 565) and normal blood pressure (NBP, n = 2063) groups. HDP subtypes included gestational hypertension (GH, n = 190) and preeclampsia (PE, n = 375). Dynamic changes in blood lipid profiles and their associations with HDP were assessed. RESULTS Compared to NBP group, higher triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) in the first (T1) and second trimesters (T2) existed in women with PE. In addition, TG increased significantly from T1 to T2, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) decreased significantly since T2 in women with PE, especially in women with early-onset PE and severe PE. Elevated TG and LDL-c were associated with HDP, mainly PE. In a subgroup analysis, higher TG or LDL-c increased the risk of HDP for underweight, overweight and primipara women. CONCLUSIONS In twin pregnancy, women with PE had higher TG and LDL-c, and elevated TG and LDL-c were associated with PE. A significant increase in TG or decrease in HDL-c were more prone to PE, especially early-onset PE and severe PE. It is helpful to monitor blood lipid levels in women pregnant with twins, especially in underweight, overweight, and primipara women.

Abstract
Atherogenic dyslipidemia-before or during pregnancy-may contribute to preeclampsia and subsequent cardiovascular disease risk. We performed a nested case-control study to further understand dyslipidemia associated with preeclampsia. The cohort consisted of participants in the randomized clinical trial "Improving Reproductive Fitness Through Pretreatment with Lifestyle Modification in Obese Women with Unexplained Infertility" (FIT-PLESE). FIT-PLESE was designed to study the effect of a pre-fertility treatment 16-week randomized lifestyle intervention program (Nutrisystem diet + exercise + orlistat vs. training alone) on improvement in live birth rate among obese women with unexplained infertility. Of the 279 patients in FIT-PLESE, 80 delivered a viable infant. Maternal serum was analyzed across five visits: before and after lifestyle interventions and also at three pregnancy visits (16, 24, and 32 weeks gestation). Apolipoprotein lipids were measured in a blinded fashion using ion mobility. Cases were those who developed preeclampsia. Controls also had a live birth but did not develop preeclampsia. Generalized linear and mixed models with repeated measures were used to compare the mean lipoprotein lipid levels of the two groups across all visits. Complete data were available for 75 pregnancies, and preeclampsia developed in 14.5% of the pregnancies. Cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratios (p < 0.003), triglycerides (p = 0.012), and triglyceride/HDL ratios, all adjusted for BMI, were worse in patients with preeclampsia (p < 0.001). Subclasses a, b, and c of highly atherogenic, very small, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles were higher during pregnancy for the preeclamptic women (p < 0.05). Very small LDL particle subclass d levels were significantly greater only at 24 weeks (p = 0.012). The role of highly atherogenic, very small LDL particle excess in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia awaits further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with preeclampsia frequently have disorders of calcium metabolism during their pregnancies, including hypocalciuria and low vitamin D levels. The link between fetal sex and vitamin D and vitamin D binding protein levels in pregnancy and preeclampsia is not clear. AIM Present study was designed to explore sex-specific variations in vitamin D and vitamin D binding protein levels in maternal and umbilical cord blood samples for age and gestation matched 20 primigravida normotensive and 20 primigravida with preeclampsia with a singleton pregnancy. METHODS Routine investigations, vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), and serum vitamin D in both maternal serum and cord blood were measured in both groups. Association between maternal and cord blood vitamin D levels was highly positive in both cases and control with babies of either sex. RESULTS This association exhibited sexual dimorphism between cord blood vitamin D and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) suggesting that the occurrence of pregnancy complications differs according to fetal sex with a higher cardiovascular and metabolic load for the mother in the presence of a male fetus. CONCLUSION Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) measurement along with vitamin D level should be advised in clinical practice for early detection and screening.

Abstract
Background HDP-gestosis score is a risk scoring system (score 1-3) for the development of pre-eclampsia. When a pregnant woman's total score is equal to or greater than 3, she is labelled as "at risk for pre-eclampsia" and is managed accordingly. Objectives To determine the sensitivity, specificity, Positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and diagnostic accuracy of HDP-gestosis score for predicting pre-eclampsia. Methods This prospective study included 473 pregnant women who presented at the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, from June 2020 to December 2021. After 20 weeks of pregnancy, the patients were assessed for the development of pre-eclampsia. Details of age, gravida, obstetric history, menstrual cycle regularity, polycystic ovarian disease history, duration of marriage, parity, past medical and surgical intervention, previous/present medication, and family history were taken. Gestosis score was calculated and classified into mild (score of 1), moderate (score of 2) and high risk (score of ≥ 3) for the development of Pre-eclampsia (PE). Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy of HDP-gestosis score for predicting the development of PE were determined. Results The mean age, gestational age, and BMI of the women were 28.4 ± 6.8 years, 11.5 ± 2.04 weeks, and 24.5 ± 3.7 kg/m2, respectively. The gestosis score was 2 in 43.13% of the participants, 1 in 42.28%, and ≥ 3 in 14.59% of the women. PE developed in 15.01% (n = 71) participants. The Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, and Diagnostic accuracy of HDP-gestosis score for predicting PE were 83.1%, 97.51%, 85.51%, 97.03% and 95.35%, respectively. Conclusion Gestosis score is a novel early marker for prediction of the development of PE allowing for a prompt management for the patients, thereby curbing the adverse consequences.

Abstract
Background Preeclampsia is a complication during pregnancy characterised by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria that develops after 20 weeks of gestation. Dyslipidemia in pregnancy is correlated with an increased risk of preeclampsia. However, the dynamic changes in lipid metabolic product, particularly fatty acid fraction, in preeclampsia maternal circulation, are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate fatty acid fraction in preeclampsia maternal blood compared with normotensive normal pregnancy. Methods A total of 34 women who developed preeclampsia and 32 women with normotensive normal pregnancy were included in our case-control study. Maternal blood samples were collected for serum fatty acid fractions analysis and other biochemical parameters. Serum fatty acid fractions included long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), saturated fatty acid, and total fatty acid, measured with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The mean difference of fatty acid level was analysed using parametric and non-parametric bivariate analysis based on normality distributed data, while the risk of preeclampsia based on fatty acid fraction was analysed using a logistic regression model. Results Women with preeclampsia have lower high-density lipoprotein (53.97 ± 12.82 mg/dL vs. 63.71 ± 15.20 mg/dL, p = 0.006), higher triglyceride (284.91 ± 97.68 mg/dL vs. 232.84 ± 73.69 mg/dL, p = 0.018) than that in the normotensive group. Higher palmitoleic acid was found in women with preeclampsia compared to normotensive normal pregnancy (422.94 ± 195.99 vs. 325.71 ± 111.03 μmol/L, p = 0.037). The binary logistic regression model showed that pregnant women who had total omega-3 levels within the reference values had a higher risk of suffering preeclampsia than those with the higher reference value (odds ratio OR (95% CI): 8,5 (1.51–48.07), p = 0.015). Pregnant women who have saturated fatty acid within reference values had a lower risk for suffering preeclampsia than those in upper reference value (OR (95% CI): 0.21 (0.52–0.88), p = 0.032). Conclusion Overall, palmitoleic acid was higher in women with preeclampsia. Further analysis indicated that reference omega-3 in and high saturated fatty acid serum levels are characteristics of women with preeclampsia.

Abstract
Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy and occurs in approximately 3-8% of all pregnancies worldwide. Although the aetiology of preeclampsia still largely remains unclear, it is thought to be related to endothelial dysfunction and can lead to serum lipid abnormalities. Therefore, this case-control study was conceived and designed with the aim to compare maternal lipid profile parameters and cardiovascular risk factors, between preeclamptic and healthy pregnancies. Blood samples were collected after overnight fasting from 48 preeclamptics and 96 healthy pregnant controls matched for age and gestational weeks and serum lipid profile concentrations were estimated and used them to calculate cardiac risk ratio I and II. There was a significant rise in serum lipid levels in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. These lipids turn out to be risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Positive correlation of maternal serum lipids to high blood pressure suggests a causal relationship.

Maternal Lipid Profile as Predictor for Mother and Fetus Outcome-an Artificial Neural Network Approach. CURRENT HEALTH SCIENCES JOURNAL 2021; 47:215-220. [PMID: 34765241 PMCID: PMC8551891 DOI: 10.12865/chsj.47.02.11] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Purpose. The study aims to predict mother and fetus outcome based on the mother's lipid profile in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Material and method. Blood and urinary samples were taken from 135 mothers that were prospectively monitored during the hole pregnancy. Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), together with other parameters, were used as predictors in a multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN). Small for gestational age (SGA) was used to assess the fetal outcome, while Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and, Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) to assess the mother's outcome. Results. SGA prediction rate was 0.637±0.022 for the second trimester and 0.632±0.017 for the third trimester. GDM prediction rate was 0.897±0.006 for the second trimester and 0.632±0.017 for the third trimester. HDP prediction rate was 0.620±0.046 for the second trimester and 0.775±0.030 for the third trimester. When used with other parameters (hemoglobin, thrombocytes, uric acid, GOT, GPT, the presence of proteinuria, urea, and creatinine) the prediction rates raised, going over 90% for the GDM. Conclusions. Though individual lipid parameters do not statistically correlate with the output variables the use of ANN generated prediction rates raging from 60% to 90%. The lipid profile from the third trimesters seems to be a better prediction for both fetus and mother outcome.
