Correlation of HbA1c with atherogenic index of plasma and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetic subjects
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Endothelial dysfunction ED is a well known initial stage of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease CVD in general population Recently studies shown increased HbA1c is a marker for cardiovascular risk in subjects with diabetes and without diabetes Atherogenic index of plasma AIP is another risk factor for cardiovascular events Hence the study has been designed to assess the correlation of HbA1c with AIP and ED in type2 diabetic subjects to forecast risk of cardiovascular eventsMaterials and Methods Hundred subjects are enrolled into study with the age of 38 to 58 years among these 50 were type 2 diabetic subjects and 50 were healthy controls HbA1c was estimated by immunoturbidimetric method Nitric oxide NO was measured by kinetic cadmium reduction method and AIP was calculated by standard formula Log triglycerideHDLc Kruskal Wallis test was used to perform statistical variables between the study groups The association between the variables was executed by Pearson correlation testResult HbA1c level was shown to be significantly higher in type2 diabetic subjects than healthy controls Significant lower level of NO was observed in type2 diabetic subjects than healthy controls AIP level was significantly higher in type2 diabetic subjects than healthy controls The present study also observed significant correlation of HbA1c with NO and AIPConclusion We have found that HbA1c has significant correlation with NO and AIP Therefore estimation of HbA1c may be a predictable marker for cardiovascular events in type2 diabetic subjectsKeywords Glycated hemoglobin Atherogenic index of plasma Nitric oxide Cardiovascular disease
