Association between vaspin level and coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aim: Adipokines contribute to the atherosclerotic process, connecting obesity and diabetes to cardiovascular disease. Vaspin is a recently discovered adipokine, so data about the relationship of vaspin to coronary artery disease in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is limited. The current study was designed to evaluate the association of vaspin with the presence of coronary artery disease in T2DM.
