We aimed to assess whether the MC4R genotype affected longitudinal changes in body weight and glucose metabolism biomarkers among women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The MC4R genotype, postpartum weight reduction, and glycemic changes between after delivery and pregnancy were assessed in a cohort of 1208 Chinese women who had experienced GDM. The adiposity-increasing allele (C) of the MC4R variant rs6567160 was associated with greater postpartum increase of HbA1c (beta = 0.08%; P = 0.03) and 2-hour OGTT glucose concentrations (beta = 0.25 mmol/L; P = 0.02). In addition, we found an interaction between the MC4R genotype and postpartum weight reduction on changes in fasting plasma glucose (P-interaction = 0.03). We found that the MC4R genotype was associated with postpartum glycemic changes; and the association with fasting glucose were significantly modified by postpartum weight reduction in women who had experienced GDM.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28852042</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Carvalho, Aline MartinsShao, PingLiu, HuikunCheng, Han-LingZheng, YanLeng, JunhongLi, WeiqinHuang, TaoWang, TiangeWang, LeishenZhang, ShuangHu, GangQi, LuEnglandSci Rep. 2017 Aug 29;7(1):9654. doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-10101-x.</style></notes><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5575005</style></custom2><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Nutrition, University of Sao Paulo School of Public Health, Sao Paulo, Brazil.Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.Tianjin Women&amp;#039;s and Children&amp;#039;s Health Center, Tianjin, China.Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. lqi1@tulane.edu.Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA. lqi1@tulane.edu.</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
