Association of apolipoproteins A1 and B with type 2 diabetes and fasting blood glucose: A cross-sectional study
BMC Endocrine Disorders Apr 07, 2021
Gao L, Zhang Y, Wang X, et al. - Since apolipoprotein (Apo) has been linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D), but little is known about the relationship between serum apolipoproteins and fasting blood glucose (FBG) and the prevalence of T2D in Chinese populations, researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to explore the correlation of serum ApoA1, ApoB, and the ratio of ApoB/ApoA1 (ApoB/A1 ratio) with T2D and FBG level, and to compare apolipoprotein indicators in predicting T2D in Chinese adults. In total, 1,027 subjects were recruited. This research shows the relationship of serum ApoA1, ApoB, and ApoB/A1 ratio with T2D and FBG in Chinese adults, implying that ApoB and ApoB/A1 ratio can be early indicators for anticipating T2D. Prospective investigation in a large cohort is required.
