Abstract:
The serum levels of visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin)were measured in 65 elderly type 2 diabetic patients with carotid atherosclerosis( T2DM + CA group), 63 elderly type 2 diabetic patients without carotid atherosclerosis (T2DM group ) and 55 normal elderly individuals( NC group)by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results showed that the serum vaspin levels in T2DM + CA group were significantly lower than those in T2DM group[(0. 23 ± 0. 13 ) μg/L vs.(0. 41±0. 16)μg/L, P ＜0. 01]. The serum vaspin levels in T2DM + CA group and T2DM group were significantly lower than those in NC group respectively[(0. 63 ± 0. 11 ) μg/L, P ＜ 0. 01 and P ＜ 0. 05].Logistic regression analysis showed that high sensitivety C-reactive protein and Homeostasis Model Assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were negatively correlated with serum vaspin levels,which indicates that lower serum vaspin levels might be associated with the pathogenesis of carotid atherosclerosis in elderly type 2 diabetic patients.
