Summary: | Background
Advanced glycosylation end product (AGE) formation is a major mechanism for the development of complications in diabetes, and the possible roles of insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP‐3) are not clearly established.
Methods
We examined the associations of AGEs, free IGF‐I and IGFBP‐3 in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients under diverse conditions. In a cross‐sectional design we studied 110 subjects (67 women and 43 men): non‐diabetic controls in group 1, (n=15) and diabetes patients as follows: group 2, without complications (n=25); group 3, with chronic complications (n=25); group 4, with acute or chronic infections (n=24); group 5, hospitalized for reasons unrelated to diabetes (n=9); group 6, with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) (n=12). AGEs were determined by a spectrofluorometric method (HPLC). Insulin and IGFBP‐3 were measured by RIA and free IGF‐1 with an IRMA method.
Results
AGEs were 13‐fold higher in patients with ESRD (p |
