Glycoprotein Acetyls Associate With Intraglomerular Hemodynamic Dysfunction, Albuminuria, Central Adiposity, and Insulin Resistance in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Glycoprotein acetyls (GlycA's) are biomarkers of systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease, yet little is known about their role in type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this study we examined the associations among GlycA's, central adiposity, insulin resistance, and early kidney injury in youth with T1D.

Methods

Glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow by iohexol and p-aminohippurate clearance, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), central adiposity by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and estimated insulin sensitivity were assessed in 50 youth with T1D (16±3.0 years of age, 50% female, glycated hemoglobin 8.7%±1.3%, T1D duration 5.7±2.6 years). Concentrations of GlycA were quantified by targeted nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Correlation and mul
