A study on the relationship between diabetes chronic complications and the levels of serum IGF-1, IGFBP-1 and GH / 中国糖尿病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects of insulin-like growth factor-l (IGF-l),insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and growth hormone (GH) on the generation, development and treatment of diabetes chronic complications. Methods 20 healthy controls,10 type 1 diabetes mellitus patients and 62 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were enrolled into the study. IGF-1, IGFBP-1, GH, HbAlc. serum insulin (INS) and serum C-peptide (C-P) were measured. Results ①Serum level of IGF-1 was obviously lower in the diabetes mellitus group than that in controls (type 1 P＜0. 05,type 2 P＜0. 05). ②Serum level of IGFBP-1 was significantly higher in type I diabetes mellitus than that in controls (P＜0. 05),and it was obviously lower in type 2 diabetes mellitus with obesity and hyperinsulinism than that in contris (P＜0. 05). ③Serum level of GH was higher in type 1 diabetes mellitus than that in controls (P＜0. 05 ) and was not significantly different from that in controls (P＞0. 05). ④The level of IGF-l was higher in diabetes nephropathy (DN) patients and diabetes retinopathy (DR) patients than that in controls (P＜0. 05). ⑤The level of IGF1 was negatively correlated with HbAlc (P＜0. 01, type 1r=- 0.73, type 2r=-0. 62). Conclusion Measurement of IGF-1, IGFBP-1 and GH may play an important role in diabetes chronic complications,especially in the generation,development of diabetic microvascular.
