Serum Selenoprotein P level is not indicative of Insulin Resistance in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Single Center Experience
Abstract:Background: Selenium has an anti-diabetic action as it an insulin-mimetic and antioxidant nutrient. Selenoprotein P (SeP) is an extracellular glycoprotein, that was linked to insulin resistance (IR). Aim: To validate of serum SeP as a measure for insulin resistance in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: This prospective case-control study included 45 children and adolescents with T1DM and 45 healthy children and adolescents. Serum SeP was measured by ELISA and compared to estimated glucose … Show more
