Insulin treatment corrects hepcidin but not YKL-40 levels in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus matched by body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, C-reactive protein and Creatinine

Abstract: BackgroundIt has been shown that hepcidin and YKL-40 levels change in persons with insulin resistance in different circumstances. However, variations of the levels of these parameters through the stages of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus are unclear. We hypothesized that hepcidin levels will decrease in persons with prediabetes, while these levels will tend to correct when persons with diabetes are treated with insulin. Finally we sought to determine the levels of YKL-40 in all groups of participants … Show more

“…Individuals with T2DM had elevated hepcidin, which was further elevated with concurrent obesity, and also had elevated hepcidin:ferritin ratio [ 92 ]. In agreement with this, one group recruited cohorts of individuals without diabetes, with prediabetes or with T2DM on insulin [ 93 ]. The group with T2DM on insulin had higher hepcidin than controls, whilst paradoxically the group with prediabetes had lower hepcidin levels than the control group.…”

“…Thus, YKL-40 has the potential to become a biomarker for DCM, but also to prevent or even to treat it once established. However, the fact that insulin treatment does not correct YKL-40 serum levels in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus [59] casts a doubt on its feasibility as a suitable biomarker for DCM.…”

“…The results of study [8] revealed an increase in the average value of serum creatinine in patients suffering from diabetic nephropathy, in relation to the level of urea in the blood. The results of study [9] showed an increase in the average concentration of blood urea in diabetic patients compared to the healthy group, and the results showed Study [10] found a decrease in the concentration of total protein in the serum of patients with diabetic nephropathy.…”
