Background: Acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP)/diazepam-binding inhibitor has recently been characterized as an endocrine factor affecting energy balance and lipid metabolism. However, regulation of ACBP in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy, as well as postpartum, has not been investigated, so far. Methods: ACBP was quantified in 74 women with GDM and 74 healthy, gestational age-matched, pregnant controls using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Furthermore, ACBP was quantified post-partum in 82 women (i.e. 41 women with previous GDM vs. 41 previous control women). ACBP was related to measures of obesity, hypertension, glucose and lipid metabolism, renal function, and inflammation during pregnancy and postpartum. Results: During pregnancy, median [interquartile range] ACBP levels were not significantly different in women with GDM (40.9 [40.0] µg/l) compared to healthy, pregnant controls (29.1 [32.3] µg/l) (p = 0.215). ACBP serum concentrations increased from 30.3 [40.5] µg/l during pregnancy to 59.7 [33.2] µg/l after pregnancy in the entire cohort (p < 0.001). This observed elevation was consistent across both subgroups of women, those with prior GDM and those without. Multivariate analysis revealed that homeostasis model assessment of beta cell function (HOMA2-B) and creatinine positively and independently correlated with serum ACBP after pregnancy, while multivariate analysis during pregnancy showed no significant correlations. Conclusions: Circulating ACBP is not a marker of GDM status, but ACBP is decreased during pregnancy, irrespective of GDM status. Furthermore, ACBP is related to beta cell function and renal markers in women after pregnancy.
