Correlation Study between Adiponectin and Type 2 Diabetes Process / 中国医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the serum concentration of adiponectin(apM1)in patients of Han population with type 2 diabetes(T2DM), impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)and normal glucose tolerance(NGT)in Liaoning Province,and explore its correlation with T2DM process. Meth-ods Unrelated 278 subjects in Liaoning Province were enrolled for the study,including 97 newly diagnosed T2DM subjects,88 IGT subjects,and 93 cases with NGT. Serum apM1,fasting and post-glucose load glucose and insulin,blood lipids,blood pressure,calculate HOMA-IR and HOMA-B,height,weight,waist,hips were measured;body mass index(BMI)and waist hip ratio(WHR)were calculated. Three groups were divided into obese overweight and non-obese overweight subgroups with BMI≥25 kg/m2 as the boundary point. Then central and peripheral obesity was distin-guished using WHR(male≥0.90,female≥0.85 as the boundary point). Results Reduced apM1 levels was first observed in obese NGT stage. Accompanied by elevated levels of insulin resistance,apM1 levels showed a gradual decline trend paralleled with the NGT-IGT-T2DM model. Se-rum apM1 in T2DM was significantly lower than that in NGT(P<0.001). Negative correlations were found between apM1 and WHR,fasting plas-ma glucose,HOMA-IR and triglyceride. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that,HOMA-IR and triglyceride were independent factors for serum apM1 levels. Conclusion Reduced apM1 levels were first appeared in obese NGT stage;apM1 is closely related to insulin resistance and T2DM process. Low level of apM1 can be used as a predictor of early intervention of IGT outcome and T2DM process.
