Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TGRL) is catabolized to glycerol and free fatty acid (FFA) by the action of lipoprotein lipase (LPL). During pregnancy, FFA passes through the placenta and is used for fetal growth and development. Because insulin resistance inhibits maternal LPL activity, catabolism of TGRL is suppressed. Therefore, it is uncertain whether fetus can efficiently obtain FFA from maternal TGRL in gestational period. This study indicates that 1) insulin resistance affects glucose and lipid metabolism during pregnancy, 2) maternal LPL concentration decreases by about 28~35% because of insufficient insulin action, 3) mean LPL concentration in cord blood is about two holds higher than that in maternal blood during the second trimester and positively correlated with birthweight. These results suggest that LPL from placenta may compensate decrease of maternal LPL action, and promote fetus growth during pregnancy.
