Adiponectin Levels and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Japanese Men with Type 2 Diabetes
[摘要] References(23)Cited-By(21)Several cardiovascular risk factors correlate with adiponectin levels. It is not known whether total homocysteine, folate and γ-glutamyl transferase levels correlate with adiponectin. We cross-sectionally analyzed the association between adiponectin and these cardiovascular risk factors in diabetic patients. One hundred and two male inpatients with type 2 diabetes without overt nephropathy or insulin use were studied. In a regression analysis of the quartiles of adiponectin, plasma levels of adiponectin were associated positively with HDL-cholesterol and age, and inversely with body mass index and HbA1c, but not with total homocysteine, folate or γ-glutamyl transferase. Non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as homocysteine and folate levels were not associated with adiponectin levels in male type 2 diabetic patients who are not subject to insulin therapy.
