Serum Protein-bound Hexose in Diabetes: The Effect of Glycemic Control

Abstract: To determine whether the carbohydrate content of serum proteins is related to overall glycemic control, we studied serum protein-bound hexose and glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1(a+b+c)] in 37 ambulant diabetic patients and 32 nondiabetic controls. Protein-bound hexose was correlated with HbA1(a+b+c) in the diabetic patients (r = 0.36, P less than 0.025). The mean protein-bound hexose level of the diabetic patients was greater than that of the controls (190.8 versus 174.7 mg/dl, P less than 0.01), but diabetic pa… Show more

“…Similarly, the significant correlation between FPG and GHb observed in this study is consistent with previous reports (1)(2)(3)(15)(16)(17). Although the absence of significant correlations between FPG, GP, and GA fractions appears surprising, our data are consistent with previous reports that showed significant relationships between FPG and GP fractions only in patients with diabetes mellitus and not in normal subjects (5,6). Finally, the lack of a significant relationship between age and GP and GA fractions observed in this study may concur with the belief that healthy elderly subjects may not manifest impaired glucose tolerance and hence may not demonstrate increased GP and GA concentrations.…”

“…Same has been reported by various workers including Gabbay et al (1976) 9 and Elkeles et al (1978). 10 Kennedy et al (1979) 11 found correlation between FBS and HbA 1 C levels were satisfactory while Nabarro et al (1979) 12 found correlation between HbA 1 C and FBS were not satisfactory. However, in some individual cases, there was no correlation between HbA 1 C and FBS.…”

“…These classes of proteins could be modified post-translationally in diabetes so that they become larger, more acidic and/or carbohydrate-containing. For example, nonenzymic glycosylation of proteins from erythrocytes (Bunn et al, 1978;Miller et al, 1980) or serum (Kennedy et al, 1979;Day et al, 1980) occurs in proportion to the diabetic hyperglycaemia.…”
