Objective: To observe the changes in urine albumin (UALB), von Willebrand factor (vWF) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in different courses of type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Levels of UALB, vWF and PAF were determined in 30 type 2 diabetic nephropathy patients(group A), type 2 diabetic patients without DNP(group B, n=30), patients with impaired glucose tolerance (group C, n=30), the first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients with normal glucose tolerance(group D, n=30) and 30 normal glucose tolerance subjects without family history of type 2 diabetes(group E).
Results: UALB and PAF contents were significantly higher in group A than in the other groups (P<0.01), while between the latter 4 groups, the contents showed no significant differences (P>0.05). Serum vWF level was significantly higher in group A than those in the other groups (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Renal dysfunction and platelet activation are present in type 2 diabetes with microvascular complications, and the synchronized changes between renal dysfunction and platelet activation indicate the involvement of elevated PAF in vascular injury.

Background: Adolescent diabetes is one of the major public health problems worldwide. This study aims to estimate the burden of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adolescents from 1990 to 2021, and to predict diabetes prevalence through 2030.
Methods: We extracted epidemiologic data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) on T1DM and T2DM among adolescents aged 10-24 years in 204 countries and territories worldwide.

Background: Increased glucagon levels are now recognized as a pathophysiological adaptation to counteract overnutrition in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to elucidate the role of glucagon in peripheral nerve function in patients with T2D with different body mass indices (BMIs).
Methods: We consecutively enrolled 174 individuals with T2D and obesity (T2D/OB, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m), and 480 individuals with T2D and nonobesity (T2D/non-OB, BMI < 28 kg/m), all of whom underwent oral glucose tolerance tests to determine the area under the curve for glucagon (AUC).

Background: The link between obesity and cardiometabolic risk has been well recognized. We investigated the association between body fat percentage (BF%), as an appropriate indicator of obesity, and prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases using baseline data of Fasa PERSIAN cohort study.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was performed on data obtained at the first phase of the Fasa cohort study in Iran (n = 4658: M/F: 2154/2504).

Background: Several studies showed higher risks of cardiovascular complications to have been observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter have been more pronounced in patients with hyperglycemia. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are now considered as second-line treatment for patients with T2DM following inadequate glycemic control with first line agents.

Obesity is a major global health problem and at the same time a financial burden for social security systems. For a long time, conventional lifestyle interventions have tried unsuccessfully to find a solution. It has been proven that only interventions that ultimately address the central control centers of hunger, appetite and satiety will lead to sustained weight loss.
