Adipokines, C-Reactive Protein and Lipid Profile Levels in Hypertensive Type 2 Diabetic Portuguese Patients
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are known to be associated. We aimed to study how hypertension may influence the levels of adipogenesis, inflammation and lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM. We studied 57 normotensive and 23 hypertensive patients with T2DM. The circulating levels of some adipokines adiponectin, leptin and chemerin-, C-reactive protein (CRP) and the lipid pro...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF SERUM CHITINASE-3 LIKE 1 PROTEIN AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE COMPARED TO DIABETIC AND HEALTHY CONTROL
Background: Diabetes mellitus, which is associated with elevated blood glucose, lipids and liver enzymes, may results in alterations in the production of inflammatory cytokines, including chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which induce and promote complications of diabetes such as atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Captopril and Amlodipine on C-reactive Protein Concentrations in Type 2 Diabetic Hypertensive Patients
Objective: To compare the effects of the ACE inhibitor captopril with the calcium channel blocker amlodipine on serum CRP concentrations in hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients. Methodology: This is a case control study conducted in Al-Wafa Diabetic Center in Mosul. Serum CRP concentrations were measured in two groups of hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients before and after drug administratio...
متن کاملRosiglitazone decreases albuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients.
Thiazolidinediones are insulin-sensitizing compounds that reduce plasma glucose and improve the lipid profile of type 2 diabetic patients. We determined the effect of rosiglitazone in 15 type 2 diabetic patients and compared these results to 14 randomly assigned placebo patients. After 3 months, the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio was significantly decreased, while the glucose metabolic cle...
متن کاملCorrelations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and atherosclerosis in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients.
BACKGROUND The elevated level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) and aortic stiffness are associated with high mortality in type 2 diabetic patients. We tested the hypothesis that the HSCRP correlates with aortic stiffness and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study consisted of 46 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and high HSCRP group (...
