Indicators of insulin resistance and other components of metabolic syndrome in pregnant women with obesity

Abstract

The social significance of metabolic syndrome (MS) is very high and is due to the fact that the main target, which is affected by all the MS components, is cardiovascular system and this determines the high risk for cardiovascular diseases. Also, MS sharply increases the development of diabetes mellitus type 2. The more MS components patients have, the higher their cardiovascular and MS risks are. Extragenital diseases in pregnant women present a serious issue both for therapists and gynecologists. The portion of a therapist in treating pregnant women has become essential. To study carbohydrate metabolism during pregnancy, we examined 143 pregnant women with signs of metabolic syndrome (МS). The prevalence and significance of obesity and MS female patients of the reproductive age make it necessary to continue detailed and thorough studies on the pathogenetic mechanisms of its development aimed at the decrease in the cardiovascular risk in future.
