Correlation of serum C1q-tumour necrosis factor-related protein 5 levels with metabolic parameters and carotid intima-media thickness in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

CONCLUSION: Serum CTRP5 levels were correlated with cardiometabolic parameters and could therefore be a promising indicator of metabolic status and a possible biomarker of insulin resistance. However, the contradictory results reported in different studies indicate the need for further research to assess the significance of CTRP5 for diagnosis and monitoring of treatment efficacy.
