Level of adiponectin and vaspin, and adiponectin/vaspin ratio is associated with insulin resistance and clinical expression of metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetic patients

Liu S. , Yang J. , Wang T. , Wang X. , Niu B.

Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between levels of adiponectin and vaspin, adiponectin/vaspin (A/V) ratio and metabolic syndrome, degree of adiposity, and insulin resistance (IR), as well as their correlation with metabolic variables.Methods: Two hundred sixty patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (126 male, 134 female) were enrolled. Patients were grouped based on degree of adiposity, IR assessment (homeostasis m...

Background: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have divergent survival, even when having the same site of primary tumor, and tumor stage and grade. 68Gallium (68Ga)-DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is a sensitive imaging modality for detecting NETs. The purpose of this study was to determine whether 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging has any prognostic utility in patients with NETs.Methods: One hundred and eighty-fou...
