Abstract: [Summary] This paper was to investigate whether serum angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl 2) is associated with macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus.The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in serum Angptl 2 levels among control group and groups of type 2 diabetic patients with or without carotid atherosclerosis [0.98 (0.82-1.22),3.70 (2.69-4.85),1.17 (0.76-2.47) ng/ml].Logistic regression showed that Angptl 2 was an independent risk factor of macrovascular complications in the patients with type 2 diabetes.
