Relationship between serum bilirubin and serum C-peptide levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

[Summary] The relationship between serum bilirubin and serum C-peptide levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was investigated. The clinical and laboratory data of 206 healthy subjects and 271 type 2 diabetic patients were collected. The partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum bilirubin was positively correlated with fasting C-peptide, postprandial C-peptide, and the difference between postprandial C-peptide and fasting C-peptide levels(β=0. 171, 0. 111,0. 052,P<0. 05 or P<0. 01).
