Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), a specific carrier for retinol in the blood, is a novel adipokine that has been implicated in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance, and its gene expression has been associated with adipose tissue inflammation. Recently, proteomic profiling of amniotic fluid (AF) from women with preterm labor (PTL) revealed over-expression of RBP4 in those who delivered preterm. The aim of this study was to determine whether RBP4 is present in AF, and if its concentrations change with gestational age, in the presence of labor, and intra-amniotic infection/inflammation (IAI) in patients with spontaneous PTL.
