A STUDY ON SERUM NESFATIN-1 CONCENTRATION IN TYPE 2 DIABETIC MELLITUS PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Nesfatin-1 is an adipocytokin (APC) secreted by many organs in the body, affecting many factors related to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Nesfatin-1 levels may change in patients with T2DM. Objective: To investigate serum nesfatin-1 levels in patients with T2DM and find out the relationship between nesfatin-1 levels and some clinical and subclinical characteristics in the patients. Subjects and methods: 214 participants were enrolled in the study divided into 2 groups, of which 75 healthy individuals, without hyperglycemia, belonged to the control group, were used to determine the reference range of serum nesfatin-1 levels. The study group included 139 patients who were diagnosed with T2DM for the first time or have been undergoing the treatment. The participants were collected at Hospital 198 - Ministry of Public Security. Serum nesfatin-1 levels were quantified using nesfatin-1 ELISA Kit from BioVendor on the DAX 800 ELISA machine at the Department of Pathophysiology - Vietnam Military Medical University. Unit of measurement: ng/ml. Results: Serum nesfatin-1 levels in the T2DM patients were significantly lower than the reference range [0.2 (0.2-0.3) versus 0.2 (0.2-0.4) ) ng/ml; p<0.001]. The proportions of T2DM patients with decreased, normal and increased nesfatin-1 levels were 49,6%; 45,3% and 5,1%, respectively. Serum nesfatin-1 levels statistically significantly related to time of disease detection, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, but were not statistically significantly related to gender, age group, waist/hip ratio, blood lipid disorders and HbA1c. Conclusion: Nesfatin-1 is an APC with various effects. Nesfatin-1 level can alter with a decreasing trend in metabolic diseases including T2DM.
