Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the proximal promoter region of the adiponectin gene with TCM syndromes in patients with type 2 diabetes / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum adiponectin (APN) gene promoter region single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods 120 cases of T2DM were divided into Yin Deficiency Syndromes(n=42), Yin hot (n=38), yin and yang (n=40) and 50 cases of normal volunteers were select as the control group. The diponectin gene (aPM1) promoter polymorphisms of each group were detected with polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR).Results Serum APN Yin hot levels in patients with T2DM (6.98 ± 1.23 μg/ml) were lower than Qi and yin (2.55 ± 0.78 μg/ml) and yang group (3.48 ± 0.22 μg/ml) (P0.05).Conclusion T2DM patients Yin hot type inherent relationship with aPM1-11377G/C polymorphism, aPM1-11377G/C polymorphism may reflect R2DM Disease Syndromes typing a certain extent, and by influence insulin resistance in patients with arterial plaque and serum APN levels, thereby affecting T2DM disease occurrence and progression.
