  4. c Nutrients correlated with egg (saturated fat, unsaturated fat, trans fat, animal protein and fibre) were adjusted individually or in combination, in addition to Model 2 covariates
  5. d To determine whether the effect of egg intake on GDM is related to the increase of plasma lipid profiles, the concentrations of plasma TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were further adjusted individually or in combination
