Association of serum CTRP9 levels with cardiac autonomic neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Aims Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a serious complication of diabetes and is associated with adipokines. The C1q tumor necrosis factor‐related protein 9 (CTRP9) is a newly discovered adipokine. This study aimed to evaluate the association of serum CTRP9 levels with the prevalence and severit...

Description
Summary:Aims Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a serious complication of diabetes and is associated with adipokines. The C1q tumor necrosis factor‐related protein 9 (CTRP9) is a newly discovered adipokine. This study aimed to evaluate the association of serum CTRP9 levels with the prevalence and severity of CAN in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods We enrolled 262 patients (aged ≥18 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus into this study. Standard cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTs) were used to assess CAN and patients were divided into three groups accordingly: a non‐CAN group, an early CAN group, and a definite CAN group. Serum CTRP9 levels were measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, and the tertiles were calculated. Results Serum CTRP9 levels decreased significantly in the early CAN and definite CAN groups (P
