MG53 does not mark cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality in subjects with type 2 diabetes: a prospective, observational study

Subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are characterized by a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. MG53, a marker of peripheral insulin resistance, has been linked with impaired β-cell function and decreased β-cell survival, and its circulating levels are increased in T2D. Its relationship with the cardiovascular risk profile and mortality in T2D is currently unknown.
