Aims: We aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the associations between Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), its precursor and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: In this prospective study, 940 women were included in a Chinese single -center pregnant cohort. First trimester plasma concentrations of TMAO and its precursors (betaine, choline, L-carnitine, and trimethylamine) were measured using UPLC-ESI-MS/MS.
Background: We aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the associations between iron metabolism and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by examining multiple iron-related indicators.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study involving 907 Chinese pregnant women. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum concentrations of iron-related indicators during the first trimester (≤ 14 weeks of gestation).
Background: Previous studies of maternal iron and birth outcomes have been limited to single indicators that do not reflect the comprehensive relationship with birth outcomes. We aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal iron metabolism and neonatal anthropometric indicators using comprehensive iron-related indicators.
Methods: A total of 914 Chinese mother-child dyads were enrolled in this prospective study.

Objective: Although research suggests a close association between maternal thyroid function and birth outcomes, no clear conclusion has been reached. We aimed to explore this potential association in a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: This study included 8985 mother-child dyads.
