Abstract
ABSTRACTAims/IntroductionTo investigated the association between serum asprosin and metabolic characteristics in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with different durations.Materials and MethodsA total of 436 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study from the community health service center in southeastern Shanxi Province. All the patients were divided into two groups according to their diabetes duration: diabetes duration ≤5 years group (n = 132) and diabetes duration ≥10 years group (n = 304). Fasting blood samples were gathered and serum asprosin was tested. Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis was carried out.ResultsAsprosin was comparable between the two groups. Asprosin was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure (SBP), triglycerides, creatinine, serum uric acid and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol in the diabetes duration ≤5 years group (P < 0.05). In the diabetes duration ≥10 years group, asprosin was independently correlated with SBP, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, creatinine, serum uric acid, fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (P < 0.05). Asprosin was associated with alanine aminotransferase and estimated glomerular filtration rate (P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis found that SBP and diastolic blood pressure is an independent factor related to serum asprosin in the group with diabetes duration ≤5 years (P < 0.05). Fasting plasma glucose, SBP, total cholesterol and serum uric acid is an independent factor related to serum asprosin in the group with diabetes duration ≥10 years (P < 0.05).ConclusionsSerum asprosin was significantly increased in the group with diabetes duration ≥10 years, and glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure and estimated glomerular filtration rate were independent risk factors in long‐duration type 2 diabetes mellitus.
