Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent disease in worldwide. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and relative insulin deficiency. The goal of this study is to estimate serum zinc levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and correlation between serum zinc levels, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, and complications in type 2 diabetes patients. Aims and Objectives: To estimate serum zinc levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, study correlation between serum zinc levels and HbA1c levels, and compare serum zinc levels, HbA1c, and overt diabetic complications. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary center. Diagnosed 100 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus were taken and detailed examination was done. Serum zinc levels were estimated by absorption spectrophotometry, and HbA1c levels were estimated using high-performance liquid chromatography method. Statistical software STATA version 14.0 was used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 49.6 ± 11.18 years with a male: female ratio of 2.1:1. Mean serum zinc levels in males with macrovascular complications were 43.65 ± 14.55 μg/dl, significantly lower than the mean serum zinc levels in females 67.31 ± 18.84 μg/dl, P < 0.0001. Serum zinc levels were low in patients with microvascular complications and macrovascular complications, which were statistically significant P < 0.0001 and an inverse correlation was observed between HbA1c levels and serum zinc levels (r = −0.4456, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Low serum zinc levels associated with micro- and macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus. This study revealed an inverse relationship between HbA1c and serum zinc concentration in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
2型糖尿病患者血清锌水平与糖化血红蛋白及糖尿病并发症的关系
背景:糖尿病是世界范围内最常见的疾病。它的特点是高血糖、胰岛素抵抗和相对胰岛素缺乏。本研究的目的是评估2型糖尿病患者的血清锌水平,以及血清锌水平、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平和2型糖尿病患者并发症之间的相关性。目的:评估2型糖尿病患者的血清锌水平,研究血清锌水平与HbA1c水平的相关性,并比较血清锌水平、HbA1c水平和明显的糖尿病并发症。材料和方法:本前瞻性观察研究在三级中心进行。本文对确诊的100例2型糖尿病患者进行了详细的检查。采用吸收分光光度法测定血清锌水平,高效液相色谱法测定血清糖化血红蛋白水平。采用统计软件STATA version 14.0进行数据分析。结果:患者平均年龄49.6±11.18岁,男女比例为2.1:1。男性大血管并发症患者血清锌平均水平为43.65±14.55 μg/dl,显著低于女性患者67.31±18.84 μg/dl, P < 0.0001。微血管并发症和大血管并发症患者血清锌水平均较低,差异有统计学意义P < 0.0001, HbA1c水平与血清锌水平呈负相关(r = - 0.4456, P < 0.0001)。结论:低锌血症与糖尿病的微血管和大血管并发症有关。本研究揭示了2型糖尿病患者HbA1c与血清锌浓度呈反比关系。

期刊介绍: The Indian Journal of Medical Specialities is an all-encompassing peer-reviewed quarterly journal. The journal publishes scholarly articles, reviews, case reports and original research papers from medical specialities specially pertaining to clinical patterns and epidemiological profile of diseases. An important highlight is the emphasis on undergraduate and postgraduate medical education including various aspects of scientific paper-writing. The journal gives priority to research originating from the developing world, including from the tropical regions of the world. The journal also publishes special issues on health topics of current interest. The Indian Journal of Medical Specialities is one of the very few quality multispeciality scientific medical journals.
