Unlabelled: Aims/Introduction: Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM) develops as a result of very rapid and almost complete pancreatic β-cell destruction. We hypothesized that in patients with FT1DM who have less endogenous insulin secretion, disease progression is more rapid, and thus glycated albumin (GA) levels are lower. This study was designed to prove this hypothesis.
Materials And Methods: The present study included 42 patients with FT1DM (24 men, 18 women) in whom glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), GA and daily urinary C-peptide (CPR) were measured at the time of diagnosis. Patients with complications, such as liver disease, kidney disease, anemia, or who were pregnant were excluded.
Results: Urinary CPR (log transformed) was not correlated with HbA1c (R = 0.168, P = 0.287), but was positively correlated with GA (R = 0.336, P = 0.030). It was weakly, but not significantly, correlated with GA/HbA1c ratio (R = 0.281, P = 0.072). In patients with GA < 24.0%, urinary CPR was significantly lower than in patients with GA ≥ 24.0%. In addition, in patients with GA/HbA1c ratio <3.8, urinary CPR was significantly lower than in patients with GA/HbA1c ratio ≥ 3.8.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that in patients with FT1DM, GA at the time of diagnosis was correlated with endogenous insulin secretion. GA < 24.0% at the time of diagnosis is predictive for less endogenous insulin secretion in patients with FT1DM. (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2010.00050.x, 2010).

In this cross-sectional study, we have analyzed advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the plasma and follicular fluid of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) taking metformin during in vitro fertilization (IVF) and control women undergoing IVF. Glucose, fructose, fructosamine, carboxymethyl lysine/ arginine (CML/R) proteins, and pentosidine were measured in the plasma and paired follicular fluid. Glycated proteins were characterized by mass spectrometry.

This study evaluates the effects of liraglutide on albuminuria, oxidative stress, and inflammation in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with different urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) categories. We enrolled 107 patients with T2D who were initiating liraglutide for glycemic control. Patients were categorized into 3 groups: group I (UACR < 30 mg/g); group II (30 mg/g ≤ UACR ≤ 300 mg/g); group III (UACR > 300 mg/g).

Background: An increased risk of multiple secondary diseases has been observed in individuals with diabetes, which contributes to the growing economic burden. Few studies have established the connection of blood urea nitrogen/albumin (BAR) with diabetes, and its link to subsequent diabetic complications and mortality remains unclear. We aimed to explore the association of BAR with the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its dynamic progression.

Glycation and aggregation of proteins have garnered more interest in recent years. Glycation leads to the formation of protein aggregates and advanced glycation ends (AGEs) that play crucial roles within several pathological conditions. The objective of our study is to gain a deeper understanding of the formation of AGEs and aggregates of human serum albumin (HSA) in the presence of methylglyoxal and the protective effects of the phytochemical berberine.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how erythrocyte creatine (EC) and HbA1c levels relate in healthy children aged 3-18 years, finding no significant correlation between the two measures.
- In males, while EC levels did not correlate with age, they showed a negative trend with HbA1c; in females, EC levels positively correlated with age but not with HbA1c.
- Notably, menstruating females had higher EC levels compared to non-menstruating ones, yet there were no significant differences in HbA1c levels, suggesting a potential age-related discrepancy in females after puberty.
