Abstract: Objective To investigate the relation between plasma omentin and glycometabolism.Methods Eighty-five cases were divided into 3 groups by glucose tolerance test:diabetes mellitus group (42cases), impaired glucose regulation group (17 cases) and normal glucose regulation group (26 cases). The level of plasma omentin was assayed by ELISA. Results The level of plasma omentin was (53.7 ± 7.7),(40.7 ±9.9) and (30.6 ±5.3) μg/L in diabetes mellitus group, impaired glucose regulation group and normal glucose regulation group. There was significant difference among three groups (P= 0.049) and there was significant difference between diabetes mellitus group and normal glucose regulation group (P= 0.014).The level of plasma omentin in normal glycometabolism was (53.7 ± 7.7) μ g/L , and the level of plasma omentin in abnormal glycometabolism was (33.5 ± 6.0) μ g/L. There was significant difference between them(P = 0.023 ). Logistic analysis showed that the decline of plasma omentin was the independent risk factor ofglycometabolic disturbance (P= 0.027). Conclusion Omentin may play important roles in glycometabolic disturbance.
