Clinical Endocrinology May 11, 2018
Kong M, et al. - In this prospective cohort study, experts scrutinized the connection between gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels during early-middle pregnancy and subsequent risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). For this study, pregnant women enrolled prior to 16 weeks of gestation were followed up until delivery.
