This study will examine pregravid biomarkers of metabolic risk (adiponectin, high molecular weight adiponectin, c-reactive protein, liver enzymes, fetuin-A and LDL particle size) in relation to risk of gestational diabetes mellitus among women who participated in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) multiphasic health check-up (1985-1996) and had a subsequent pregnancy in KPNC.
