Table 4. Association of fasting serum levels of sCD26/DPP-IV with MetS and A1c levels among type 2 diabetes patients.

Parameters	B	P-value
Body Max Index (Kg/m 2 )	4.64	0.100
HOMA- β (%)	-0.068	0.693
Insulin resistance	2.44	0.525
Glycosylated A1c (%)	19.96	0.009
Triglycerides (mmol/L)	0.492	0.964
HDL-cholesterol (mmol/L)	27.60	0.610

The results are presented as unstandardized coefficients; B and (P-value) assessed using multiple linear regression adjusted for, age, race, gender, and duration of diabetes. Bold values are significant. B: coefficient for the relationship between the dependent variable “DPP-IV level” and the independent variable “diabetic and metabolic biomarker”. The positive sign of the coefficient implies a direct relationship, and the negative sign implies an inverse relationship.
