Adropin, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress in patients with T2DM
| Variable | Female | Male | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adropin (ng/mL) | 0.7 ± 0.3 | 0.4 ± 0.2 | 0.004 |
| Adiponectin (μg/mL) | 2.9 ± 1.5 | 1.6 ± 0.9 | 0.013 |
| MDA (μM) | 6.5 ± 2.7 | 9.1 ± 5.3 | 0.065 |
| ROS (IU/mL) | 62.9 ± 34.2 | 84.4 ± 124.8 | 0.564 |
| hs-CRP (μg/mL) | 0.5 ± 0.6 | 2.6 ± 3.9 | 0.017 |
| TNF-α (pg/mL) | 23.8 ± 30.1 | 15.3 ± 2.2 | 0.351 |
Values are presented as mean ± SD. P-values between genders were statistically analyzed by t-test. T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; MDA, malondialdehyde; ROS, reactive oxygen species; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
