Table 1. Correlations of proteins from family 18 of glycosyl hydrolase (CHIT1, AMCase and YKL-40) and leukocyte elastase in neutrophils of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Activity/concentration CHIT1 AMCase YKL-40
CHIT1 (nmol/h/106 cells) - 0.59*** 0.23ns
AMCase (nmol/h/106 cells) 0.59*** - 0.14ns
YKL-40 (ng/106 cells) 0.23ns 0.14ns -
LE (nmol/min/106 cells) 0.40*** 0.25* 0.33***

CHIT1—chitotriosidase, AMCase—acidic mammalian chitinase,YKL-40—chitinase 3-like protein 1, LE—leukocyte elastase, statistical significance:

***—p <0.001,

*—p <0.05,

ns—not significant.
