Popis: decreases insulin sensitivity and is associated with obesity. Recent data indicates that subclinical endotoxemia is associated with inflammation in obese women in late pregnancy. Objectives: The objective of this study was to quantify circulating endotoxin across pregnancy in lean and obese women, and assess the relationship between endotoxin and markers of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. Methods: Endotoxin was measured in sterile maternal EDTA plasma samples from 24 lean pregnant women (BMI = 22.4 ± 1.9 kg/m) and 45 obese pregnant women (BMI= 32.6 ± 2.1 kg/m), and 6 non-pregnant women. Samples were collected at 10.5 ± 3.1, 21.3 ± 4.6 and 35.2 ± 2.1 weeks gestation. Endotoxin was quantified using the PyroGene Recombinant Factor C endotoxin detection assay from LONZA, inter-assay variability
