Prediction of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by using monocyte to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio
ConclusionThis study showed that patients with T2DM may be more likely to develop DR when they have high MHR values. Based on these results, clinicians can also use MHR as a new laboratory marker to predict DR. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Study on association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and serum vitamin A, E, and selenium levels in high-fat fed diet rats
ConclusionFinally, evaluation of serum and liver titers of vitamin A, E, and selenium at different time intervals with progressive changes in fatty liver (hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis) over a period of 1  month as well as pathological evaluation along with a serological examination of vitamin A and E and selenium in fatty liver is suggested for future studies.

Relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and bone mineral density in type 2 diabetic patients
ConclusionFor males aged  ≥ 50 years or postmenopausal female T2DM patients with NAFLD, the BMD levels were lower, and lower BMD levels were more likely to lead to the development of NAFLD. The BMD was an independent protective factor for T2DM patients. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Correlation analysis of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio associated with gestational diabetes mellitus
ConclusionSignificantly (p <  0.001) higher TG/HDL ratio was found in GDM women compared with those in non‐GDM. TG/HDL ratios are independently associated with the risks of GDM, which might be a good marker in predicting GDM risk. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Anthropometric indices and their predictive ability on metabolic syndrome in west China
ConclusionAVI, WHR, WHtR, BMI, C index, and BRI were all associated with cardiovascular risk factors. The anthropometric index is a useful screening tool for MS, its components, and cardiovascular risk factors. Among all the indices examined, AVI can best distinguish MetS.
