Investigation of The Relationship Between Asprosin Levels and Metabolic Parameters Observed in Clinical Follow-Up in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Objectives: Asprosin is a newly identified adipokine which is involved in glucose and lipid metabolisms as well as inflammation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM associated with dysfunctions in glucose and lipid metabolisms is known as a metabolic disorder. The aim of this study was to investigate whether asprosin levels were changed in subjects with newly diagnosed T2DM nT2DM comparing to subjects with normal glucose tolerance NGT and to determine if asprosin levels were linked to metabolic parameters. Method: This case control study included 68 subjects with nT2DM and 68 NGT age-, body mass index BMI - and gender-matched subjects. We used ELISA method for measuring the circulating asprosin levels. A 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was used for diagnosing of T2DM. Metabolic parameters of enrolled subjects were determined.Results: Circulating asprosin levels were elevated in nT2DM subjects when compared to controls. 6.75 ± 1.54 vs. 4.05 ± 1.28 ng/ml, P
