Abstract
Objectives: To compare ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) in normal weight and obese/overweight type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM) to see the impact of obesity on the occurrence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in T2DM patients. Secondly to investigate the relationship between ABPI, insulin resistance, and beta cell function and between adipocytokines and obesity parameters.
Methods: A total of 120 BMI-categorized Normal weight (NW) T2DM (n = 53) patients and obese/overweight T2DM (n = 67) patients were recruited in this study. ABPI measurements were performed for the assessment of PAD. The anthropometry and body composition of the patients were measured. Plasma fasting insulin, adiponectin, and IL-6 levels were measured by ELISA kits.
Results: ABPI scores were found to be comparable between both groups of patients (p = 0.787). A significant positive correlation was observed between ABPI and beta cell function. Insulin resistance was found to correlate positively while adiponectin negatively with obesity parameters.
Conclusion: The ABPI score was comparable between both groups of patients, suggesting that vascular complications may occur at the same rate in NW as well as in obese/overweight diabetic patients. The positive association of insulin resistance as well as the negative association of adiponectin with obesity parameters, are suggestive of the importance of body fat distribution in predicting insulin resistance and the inflammatory status of the cells.
期刊介绍:
Acta Diabetologica is a journal that publishes reports of experimental and clinical research on diabetes mellitus and related metabolic diseases. Original contributions on biochemical, physiological, pathophysiological and clinical aspects of research on diabetes and metabolic diseases are welcome. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications and letters to the editor. Invited reviews and editorials are also published. A Methodology forum, which publishes contributions on methodological aspects of diabetes in vivo and in vitro, is also available. The Editor-in-chief will be pleased to consider articles describing new techniques (e.g., new transplantation methods, metabolic models), of innovative importance in the field of diabetes/metabolism. Finally, workshop reports are also welcome in Acta Diabetologica.
