Retinol Binding Protein-4 Levels and Clinical Features of Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Evidence That Kidney Function but Not Type 2 Diabetes Determines Retinol-Binding Protein 4 Serum Levels

OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) links adiposity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. However, circulating RBP4 levels are also affected by kidney function. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test whether RBP4 serum levels are primarily associated with kidney function or type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS RBP4 serum concentration was de...

effect of omega-3 supplementation on lipocalin 2 and retinol-binding protein 4 in type 2 diabetic patients

background: serum levels of lipocalin 2 (lcn 2) and retinol-binding protein-4 (rbp 4), increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). we sought to determine whether serum lcn 2 and rbp 4 change after an intervention with omega-3 fatty acids supplementation in diabetic patients. methods: forty-five type 2 diabetic patients from iranian diabetic association in tehran, iran in 2013 were randomly rec...

association of retinol?binding protein 4 with metabolic syndrome in first?degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients

background: retinol?binding protein 4 (rbp4) is known to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. the influences of rbp4 on metabolic syndrome (ms) are still unclear. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between serum levels of rbp4 and ms components in first?degree relations of type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: this cross?sectional study ...

Impact of Serum Retinol-Binding Protein 4 Levels on Regulation of Remnant-Like Particles Triglyceride in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background. Although retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) associates with insulin resistance and remnant-like particles triglyceride (RLP-TG) elevated in the insulin resistant state, few data exist regarding the relationship between RBP4 and RLP-TG. Subjects and Methods. The study included 92 Japanese type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) male patients (age 60.5 ± 13.6 years, body mass index (BMI) 24.7 ±...
