SERUM OSTEOPROTEGERIN FOR EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF CAD IN TYPE 2 DM PATIENTS
Keywords:
Osteoprotegerin (OPG)Abstract
Background:
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a well-known protein, it can reduce the osteoclast production and it also be used to identify people with CAD. The aim of this study was to investigate OPG levels, CIMT, and CAC measures in diabetic participants, as well as examine the link between blood OPG levels and early atherosclerosis such as CIMT, CAC, and GLS in patients with type 2 DM.
Method:
The study included 160 type 2 DM patients. All study were investigated GLS and venous blood specimens were collected to determine OPG. Serum OPG levels was determined using an ELISA. FPG, PPBS, and HbA1c values were assessed. CIMT were measured with B-mode ultrasonography, CAC were measured with CT.
