  • Cross-sectional observational design
  • Included 37 men with prediabetes and 37 healthy controls
  • Serum endocan measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • Testosterone levels analyzed via chemiluminescence
  • Routine laboratory tests conducted.
  • Significantly higher levels of endocan in prediabetes group (p = 0.012)
  • Increased BMI, fasting and postprandial glucose, insulin, and HbA1c in prediabetes group
