ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between l evels of FⅦc and features of IR as well as macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes.Methods The 2001-10~2002-08 FⅦc levels were measured by a one -stage biological assay in patients with type 2 diabetes and controls.Results (1)Type 2 diabetic patients had significantly higher FⅦc than control subjects.(2)FⅦc levels were higher in the type 2 diabetes w ith macrovascular complications than in those without macrovascular complication s.(3)FⅦc levels correlated positively with most features of IR.Conclusion FⅦc levels are increased in type 2 diabetic pat ients.Elevated FⅦc may be an important sign of IR and may contribute to type 2 diabetes and its macrovascular diseases.
