Abstract
Purpose: ANGPTL8, commonly referred to as betatrophin, has demonstrated promise as a dependable marker for the onset of complications associated with diabetes mellitus, such as dyslipidemia. The objective of this study is to evaluate the lipid profile and ANGPTL8 levels in people diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed on a group of 100 adolescent females, aged 13-17 years. This group consisted of individuals diagnosed with T1DM from the Diabetes and Endocrine Department at Medina's King Fahad Hospital in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, 100 healthy adolescent females of the same age range were included as controls. The hospital conducted laboratory studies to evaluate glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and lipid profiles. The ANGPTL8 levels were quantified using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
Results: Patients with T1DM had ANGPTL8 levels that were twice as high as those observed in individuals without any health conditions. The two groups had contrasting levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), C-peptides, triacylglycerol (TG), and cholesterol, along with elevated Atherogenic Index of Plasma readings. Diabetes mellitus patients had considerably elevated values compared to the control group. There was a significant correlation between ANGPTL8 concentrations and lipid abnormalities, with P-values less than 0.05. 56% of the 100 patients exhibited dyslipidemia. The research found a correlation between dyslipidemia and elevated levels of ANGPTL8 in diabetic patients. The concentration of ANGPTL8 had a positive correlation with glucose, HbA1c, TG, and C-peptides while displaying a negative correlation with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
Conclusion: ANGPTL8 levels were found to be elevated in Saudi young women who were diagnosed with TIDM. ANGPTL8 may potentially contribute to dyslipidemia in individuals with T1DM, hence increasing the susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, ANGPTL8 has the potential to impact lipid metabolism, namely Triglycerides, as a biological route. The results highlight the need to analyze lipid profiles and do ANGPTL8 testing in young females diagnosed with T1DM at an early stage to prevent complications.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
