Key result
Type 1 diabetes in adolescent girls was associated with significantly higher serum adiponectin levels compared to healthy controls, and higher adiponectin correlated with diabetes complications.
Why the study?
Is adiponectin level associated with glycemic control and complications in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes?
Case-Control (n=80)
Is adiponectin level associated with glycemic control and complications in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes?
Serum adiponectin is elevated in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes and may serve as a predictor of diabetes complications such as microalbuminuria.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Adiponectin may mark complications in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Dayem et al. (2015) conducted a case-control in Type 1 Diabetes (n=80). Type 1 Diabetes vs. Healthy volunteers was evaluated on Adiponectin level and its relation to glycemic control and diabetes complications. Type 1 diabetes in adolescent girls was associated with significantly higher serum adiponectin levels compared to healthy controls, and higher adiponectin correlated with diabetes complications.
