Association of Serum Adipsin Level with Insulin Resistance and Inflammatory Markers in Newly Diagnosed Type two Diabetes Mellitus Patients

AbstractAdipsin is an anti-inflammatory adipokines and its altered level was seen in obesity and type II DM. Our study investigated the clinical significance of serum adipsin levels as a risk marker for type 2 diabetes and its relationships with insulin resistance and various adipo-cytokines. The study included 110 treatment-na ïve T2DM cases and 100 controls of similar age and gender from northern India. Clinical, biochemical, and anthropometric characteristics were all profiled. Serum adipo-cytokines were measured using ELISA methods. Adipsin was significantly inversely correlated with body mass index (BMI), waist circu mference, fasting plasma glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleulin-6 (IL-6) and positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and homeostasis model assessment ofβ-cell function (HOMA-B) (P <  0.05). T2DM occurrence decreased with increasing concentration of adipsin with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.68 (95% CI = 0.58–0.79),P <  0.001. The area under curve (95% CI) for adipsin was 0.70 (0.63 to 0.76) withP <  0.001. The best cutoff value for adipsin to predict T2DM was <  5.50 µg/ml with 47.27% sensitivity and 82.00% specificity. FPG and WC were both independent predictors of serum adipsin levels. Our findings showed that high adipsin levels red...
