OBJECTIVE Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is an adipokine responsible for vitamin A (retinol) transportation. Studies associated RBP4 increased levels with severity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance (IR). The study aimed to quantify RBP4 serum standards in women with a wide range of body mass index (BMI) and glucose tolerance level. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Cross-sectiona...

Aim: To determine the prevalence and risk of anemia in type-2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, the incidence and risk of anemia in these patients were assessed according to gender and glycemic control status. Methods: The study group comprised 200 patients with type-2 diabetes. Patients were divided into groups according to glycemic control and gender. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood glucose ...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION To explore the relationships between periodontitis and microvascular complications as well as glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter, hospital-based, cross-sectional study included 620 patients with type 2 diabetes. We compared the prevalence and severity of periodontitis between patients with ≥1 microvascular complication and th...

To verify the glycemic safety of a maximal cardiorespiratory test (V?O2max) in T1D and correlate maximum oxygen uptake values obtained with metabolic control parameters such as glycaemia, glycated hemoglobin, time diagnosis (TD) fat (body [GC] visceral [GV]). The cross-sectional study evaluated 10 T1DM (3 women) (age 24.9 ± 7.5 years; 11.5 7.4; body mass index 22 2 kg/m2). Metabolic variables (...

The pandemic of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus continues to increase and remains a tremendous threat to global health. It is estimated that 11% of US adults have diabetes mellitus and another 35% have prediabetes based on elevated fasting glucose or glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.1 Despite improvements in the management of cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes mellitus continues to co...
