Plasma CTRP-3 concentrations in Chinese patients with obesity and type II diabetes negatively correlate with insulin resistance
Background To analyze the association between the plasma C1q/TNF-related protein-3 (CTRP-3) concentrations, obesity, and type II diabetes in the Chinese population. Methods The plasma CTRP-3 concentrations were analyzed in 174 Chinese subjects with obesity (n = 43), type II diabetes (n = 41), obesit...

Summary: | Background To analyze the association between the plasma C1q/TNF-related protein-3 (CTRP-3) concentrations, obesity, and type II diabetes in the Chinese population. Methods The plasma CTRP-3 concentrations were analyzed in 174 Chinese subjects with obesity (n = 43), type II diabetes (n = 41), obesity combined with type II diabetes (n = 45), and healthy subjects (n = 45), as were various clinical parameters of obesity-related metabolic disorders and adipokines. Results The plasma CTRP-3 concentrations were significantly lower in patients with obesity and type II diabetes than in healthy subjects ( P |
