Abstract:
The changes of serum apelin in patients with metabolic syndrome were investigated. The level of fasting serum apelin was determined by ELISA assay.The level of serum apelin was raised obviously in patients with metabolic syndrome(MS).Moreover,the level of serum apelin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was higher than those in cases of MS with impaired glucose regulation and the group of subjects with overweight/obesity [ (475.8±37.3 vs 451.5±54.3 and 430.3±52.1 ) ng/L,P＜0.01 ].In a multiple step-wise regression analysis,In homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR),body mass index,and total cholesterol were independent factors of apelin.The increased serum apelin was closely related to metabolic abnormalities in metabolic syndrome.The increased insulin resistance might cause the raised level of serum apelin in patients with MS.
