Are circulating galanin levels increased in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus?
Circulating galanin levels are higher in patients with GDM. Circulating galanin levels appear to be related to the changes of blood glucose in GDM. The higher level of galanin observed in GDM may represent a physiological adaptation to the rise of glucose associated with GDM.
