Changes in serum uteroglobin level in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uteroglobin is a multifunctional protein with anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have revealed the importance of inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the relationship between uteroglobin and T2D.

Methods

We performed diagnostic tests for diabetes in subjects who had not been diagnosed with or treated for T2D. We established three groups, containing those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), prediabetes and T2D, consisting of 80 people each, and compared their uteroglobin levels. In addition, 28 patients newly diagnosed with T2D were treated with metformin for 12 weeks, and 63 patients newly diagnosed with dyslipidaemia during the treatment for T2D were treated with statin for 12 weeks.
