Abstract:
Serum p-amyloid peptide(Aβ)40 and Ap42 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)and atherosclerosis(AS)were detected by ELISA.The results showed that serum Ap40 level in T2DM group was significantly higher than that in the control group[(274.70±159.51 vs 162.63±87.58)pg/ml,P<0.05],especially in the diabetic patients accompanied with AS[(616.95±195.13)pg/m],P<0.01].Serum Ap40 level in simple AS group was also higher than that in control group[(318.52± 188.65)pg/ml,P<0.05].These results suggest that Ap40 is a risk factor of T2DM complicated with AS.However,there was no difference in serum Ap42 levels among various groups.
