Aim: Adipokines contribute to the atherosclerotic process, connecting obesity and diabetes to cardiovascular disease. Vaspin is a recently discovered adipokine, so data about the relationship of vaspin to coronary artery disease in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is limited. The current study was designed to evaluate the association of vaspin with the presence of coronary artery disease in T2DM.
Methods: We enrolled 228 patients with T2DM, with or without CAD, between March 2010 and July 2011, and 120 healthy control participants. Serum vaspin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and other cardiovascular risk factors were assayed.
Results: Vaspin levels were significantly increased in patients with T2DM compared to healthy individuals, and were further increased in patients with both T2DM and CAD compared to those with T2DM but without CAD. Moreover, vaspin correlated positively with body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR in all patients with T2DM (P < 0.05). Furthermore, in multivariate logistic regression analysis, vaspin level was associated with the presence of CAD in patients with T2DM.
Conclusions: Vaspin correlates with CAD in T2DM.
