The levels of serum tHcy and Lp(a) and their relation with insulin resistance in patients with combined type 2 diabetes and CHD / 中国糖尿病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the levels of serum tHcy and Lp(a)and their association with insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes and CHD. Methods T2DM patients were divided into two groups with CHD and without CHD in addition to normal control.The fasting serum levels of tHcy,Lp(a),FPG and FIns were detected, ISI were calculated，and the correlations among them were analyzed. Results The serum levels of tHcy,Lp(a),FIns,FPG of T2DM plus CHD were significantly higher than those of T2DM without CHD and controls(P<0.01~0.05).ISI was significantly lower in T2DM cases with CHD than those of T2DM cases without CHD and controls(P<0.01). ISI was negatively correlated with tHcy and Lp(a)in T2DM plus CHD group(P<0.05)but not correlated with those in T2DM case without CHD group(P>0.05). Conclusions Detections of the serum levels of tHcy and Lp(a)of T2DM play significant roles in knowing patient condition,guiding clinical treatment and earlier preventing and treating vascular complication of diabetes.
