Lipid metabolism in ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes mellitus patients classified by Aβ classification scheme / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the lipid metabolism in ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients classified by Aβ classification scheme.Methods Two hundred and seventy-seven ketosis-prone T2DM patients were classified according to the A β classification scheme which was based on the presence or absence of pancreatic islet β-cell autoantibody and fasting C peptide:A-β- group (78 cases ),A+ β -group (41 cases ),A- β + group ( 113 cases ) and A+ β + group (45 cases).The levels of blood lipid were determined and compared in the four groups.ResultsIn A- β -,A+ β -,A- β + and A+ β +groups,the levels of triglyeride (TG) were separately (1.72 ± 1.07),(1.86 ± 1.04),(2.21 ± 1.66) and (2.60 ± 1.87 )mmol/L,the levels of very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(VLDL-C) were separately (0.57 ±0.45),(0.61 ±0.48),(0.79 ±0.63) and(0.81 ±0.62) mmol/L,and there were significant differences in TG and VLDL-C among the four groups(P =0.004 and 0.010).There were significant differences in TG and VLDL-C between β + group ( 158 cases) and β - group ( 119 cases) [ (2.32 ± 1.72) mmol/L vs.(1.77 ± 1.06)mmol/L,(0.80 ±0.63) mmol/L vs.(0.58 ±0.46) mmol/L,P =0.001 and 0.001 ].Conclusions Ketosis-prone T2DM patients with different situations of pancreatic islet β-cell autoimmunity and function are different in lipid metabolism,so it is very lmportant to evaluate the blood lipid and perform related lipid-lowering therapy in order to reduce the occurrence of diabetic complication.
