ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Asprosin, a newly identified adipokine, is pathologically increased in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study is to see whether serum asprosin concentrations are linked to diabetes mellitus-induced erectile dysfunction (DMED).METHODS:
90 male patients with type 2 diabetes were included. According to the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) score, they were classified into two groups 45 type 2 diabetes patients without erectile dysfunction (DM group) (IIEF-5 > 21),45 patients with diabetes induced erectile dysfunction (DMED group) (IIEF-5 ≤ 21)0.45 healthy male volunteers with normal blood glucose, IIEF-5 score > 21 points, and age matched with the DMED group were included as the control group. Anthropometric and biochemical variables were determined in all participants.RESULTS:
When compared to the controls, T2DM ( Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)patients had higher serum asprosin levels. The DMED group had significantly higher serum asprosin than the T2DM groups(p < 0.001). After adjusting for multiple variables considered traditional risk factors for ED(erectile dysfunction), Asprosin can still be used as an independent risk factor for ED; The ROC(Receive Operating Characteristic Curve) indicates that asprosin has good sensitivity (97.8%) and specificity (62.2%) in predicting ED, with an area under the curve of 0.843.Correlation analysis shows that asprosin is negatively correlated with SOD(superoxide dismutase ) and positively correlated with MDA (malondialdehyde).CONCLUSION:
Serum asprosin concentrations are increased in patients with DMED. Also, asprosin is correlated with oxidative stress indexes (MDA, SOD).
