ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The present study designed to evaluate the Serum levels of CMPF, MASP1 and UA in pre-diabetic subjects was compared to normal subjects. METHODS: This research is a case-control study. We studied 44 pre-diabetics with 44 normal subjects and were evaluated serum concentration of CMPF, Masp1 and U.Ain both groups andfurthermore serum concentration FPG, BUN, Cr, Cho, TG, HDLc, LDLc, AST, ALT, ALP, HbA1c was examined and correlation between of CMPF, Masp1 and U.Aand other parameters was statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Serum levels of MASP1, CMPF, fasting plasma glucose (P < 0.001)and uric acid (P < 0.002) were significantly increased in pre-diabetic subjects. In this study, a significant difference was found between MASP1 and CMPF in pre-diabetic subjects compared to normal subjects (P=0.005, r=0.291). There was also a significant difference between serum levels of MASP1 with HbA1C (P=0.01, r=0.269). CONCLUSION: Serum levels of CMPF, MASP1 and uric acid were increased in pre-diabetic subjects. These parameters can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of pre-diabetes.
