Following the intervention, researchers first measured levels of haemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar (FBS), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and serum ALA levels. They then calculated lipid ratios, levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-HDL-C, the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP)\u2014a biomarker for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease risks, and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index\u2014an indicator of insulin\u00a0resistance. Finally, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were identified via oxidative stress&#8217; status. According to researchers, \u201cTyG index, TG, and TG\/HDL-C in early pregnancy are associated with a high incidence of GDM development.&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The results showed that, after the intervention, there were no differences in the weight, systolic blood pressure and BMI in both groups. However, FBS, TyG index, TG, TG\/HDL-C, TG\/TC, AIP, and TBARS levels had a significantly decreased, and HbA1C had a slight decrease in the ALA group. Further, whilst ALA supplementation significantly reduced FBS levels, it did not appear to impact cholesterol levels.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]As noted by researchers, GDM \u201cincreases insulin resistance in body\u2026[and] mothers suffering from GDM are at a high risk for type 2 diabetes in future\u201d; thus ALA supplementation may support them maintain healthy glucose blood levels.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Credit : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitafoodsinsights.com\/womens-health\/alpha-lipoic-acid-supplementation-supports-healthy-blood-sugar-levels-during-pregnancy?utm_campaign=HAN00VIS%20-%20SFP%20-%20Vitafoods%20Insights%20Newsletter%20-%20Roundup%2077&amp;utm_emailname=HAN00VIS%20-%20SFP%20-%20Vitafoods%20Insights%20Newsletter%20-%20Roundup%2077&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Eloqua&amp;utm_MDMContactID=7e7a27a7-097a-49d6-8b7d-7580a3277b3c&amp;utm_campaigntype=Newsletter&amp;utm_sub=Brand%20new%20webinar%20exploring%20new%20tech%20trends%20and%20updates%20on%20personalised%20nutrition%2C%20women%27s%20health%20and%20more&amp;eM=46bec4826ea65d8cc485b2ab7f9dea22828150dc297ca348fece0906ce52b829&amp;eventSeriesCode=ES_VFISGT&amp;eventEditionCode=HAN00VIS&amp;sessionCode=NULL&amp;elqTrackId=7182106D69F2FD66B14730B170555047&amp;elq=84903c5360464e838821c844eadb49b2&amp;elqaid=5167&amp;elqat=1&amp;elqCampaignId=2810\">Alpha-lipoic acid supplementation supports healthy blood sugar levels (vitafoodsinsights.com)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supplemental alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) might benefit pregnant women suffering from gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)\u2014glucose intolerance\u2014and potentially prevent them from developing type 2 diabetes later in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[20],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 -
