This study aimed to examine maternal serum aquaporin 9 levels in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and to compare them with non-diabetic pregnant women. Forty-one pregnant women between 37 and 39 weeks of gestation complicated with gestational diabetes mellitus and 39 non-diabetic pregnant women at similar gestational weeks without additional obstetric complications were included in this cross-sectional study. Maternal serum aquaporin 9 levels and leptin levels of the cases were measured. Maternal serum leptin and aquaporin 9 levels in pregnant women with GDM were found to be significantly higher than in the control group ( p  &lt; .001). In the study group, first-minute Apgar scores were significantly lower and birth weight significantly higher ( p  = .001 and .005, respectively). A weak but significant positive correlation between aquaporin 9 levels and maternal body mass index ( r  = 0.279,  p  = .012), birth weight ( r  = 0.433,  p  &lt; .001), and hemoglobin A1c ( r  = 0.354,  p  = .001) levels was detected. A significant positive correlation was detected between maternal serum aquaporin 9 levels and leptin levels ( r  = 0.331,  p  = .003). The increased aquaporin 9 levels detected in cases with gestational diabetes mellitus might be a marker of the poor maternal metabolic environment specific to diabetes and might contribute to the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes.
