Implication

Betatrophin may mark early dysmetabolism in T2DM; leaves open causal role and clinical utility.

Structured PICO

Population

151 permanent residents of the Fengxian District, aged 40-60 years, BMI 18-28 kg/m2, including newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (n=50), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (n=51), and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) (n=50).

Outcome

Serum betatrophin levels and their correlation with clinical parameters (triglycerides, postprandial glucose, ALT, AST)surrogate

Circulating betatrophin is elevated in newly diagnosed T2DM and correlates with triglycerides and postprandial glucose, suggesting a role in glucose and lipid metabolism.
