Association of plasma cholinesterase and triglyceride level in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective:To investigate the relationship of plasma cholinesterase (ChE) with triglyceride (TG) levels in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods:Clinical data and biochemical parameters of 321 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM admitted to the Department of Endocrinology of People′s Hospital of Shanghai Putuo from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively collected. The patients were classified into four groups based on the plasma ChE level: Q1group ( n=81, <6 915 U/L), Q2 group ( n=80, 6 916-8 268 U/L), Q3 group ( n=80, 8 269-9 578 U/L), and Q4 group ( n=80, ≥9 579 U/L). The correlation of plasma ChE with TG level was analyzed. Results:With the increased ChE level, TG level significantly increased ( P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed that ChE was positively correlated with body weight, body mass index (BMI), TG, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), uric acid (UA), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)( r=0.35, 0.39, 0.35, 0.31, 0.27, 0.24, 0.25, 0.11, P<0.05, P<0.01 or P<0.001)while negatively correlated with age, systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and glycated albumin (GA)( r=-0.46、-0.14、-0.20、-0.14、-0.21, P<0.05 or P<0.001). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that ChE was an independent risk factor for TG ( β=0.270, P<0.001). Logistic Multivariate regression analysis showed that after adjustment for sex, age, body weight, hemoglobin, leukocytes, total protein, albumin, globulin, ALT, BUN, creatinine, uric acid, smoking history, drinking history, HbA 1C, GA, TC, and LDL-C, the risk of hypertriglyceridemia in Q4 was 6.024 folds higher than Q1 group ( P=0.011). With the TG (1.70 mmol/L) as cut-off value, the optimal cut-off point of the ChE was 7 801 U/L, as calculated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis of ChE and hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusions:ChE level is positively correlated with TG in newly diagnosed patients with T2DM.

patients. Maintenance of systolic BP<120 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and diastolic BP<80 mm Hg may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes.
