Summary: | Diabetes mellitus implies a group of common metabolic disorders that share a phenotype of hyperglycemia. Peripheral insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion forms two legs of this common, globally important non communicable disorder. Adiponectin is a hormone released by adipocytes which aids in enhancing insulin sensitivity, decreasing inflammatory mediators. Baseline adiponectin can predict diabetes and change in its value with change in metabolic parameters highlights the gravity of this molecule in more refined diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.
The objective was to ascertain change in adiponectin value in diabetics who were given either DPP-4 inhibitors or SU group drugs. Another objective was to find out correlation of serum adiponectin levels with various parameters involved in sugar and fat metabolism such as FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, LDL, HDL, VLDL, TG.
Total of 50 participants were taken, out of which 40 were diabetics and 10 were controls. They were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Diabetics were divided into two arms with 20 participants each (a. dpp group b.su group). Clinical history, examination, sample collection was done. Serum adiponectin assay was performed using RayBio ELISA kit.
Serum adiponectin levels in dpp group was higher at end of third month as compared to 0 month (45.9 +/- 5.9 vs. 39.8 +/- 4.1 mcg/dl; p<0.05). Likewise, adiponectin levels in su group was higher at end of third month as compared to 0 month (43.9 +/- 3.6 vs. 39.8 +/- 3.5 mcg/dl; p<0.05).
Improvement in glycemic parameters (HbA1c, FBS, PPBS) is associated with rise in serum levels of adiponectin. General population possess higher levels of adiponectin as compared to diabetics. Adiponectin can serve as a marker for early diagnosis to diabetes. It can also aid in targeted therapy for metabolic disorders. |
