Association between serum vaspin concentrations and insulin sensitivity, glucose and lipid metabolism in the obese children
2012, 40 (8):
772-775 .
Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum vaspin concentrations and insulin sensitivity, glucose and lipid metabolism in the obese children. Methods: A total of 34 obese children (22 males and 12 females) were enrolled in this trial. And another randomly selected 30 cases of normal healthy children were taken as control. Fasting venous blood samples were collected for the determination of the serum vaspin level by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The Physical index such as anthropometric weight, height and the FPG, FINS were measured using standard instruments and procedures, and the body mass index (BMI), Waist-hips-ratio (WHR), body fat % (BF%), HOMA-IR, ISI and AI were calculated according to suitable formula. the relationship between serum vaspin concentrations and insulin sensitivity, glucose and lipid metabolism was analyzed. Results: The vaspin, WC, BMI, BF%, SBP, DBP, FPG, FINS, LDL-C, TG, LDL-C/HDL-C, (TC-HDL-C)/HDL-C, HOMA-IR of the obese group were much higher, while the HDL-C, ISI were much lower than the control group. There is a significant positive correlation between the vaspin concentrations and BMI, WC, WHR, BF%, TG, FINS, HOMA-IR, (TC-HDL-C)/HDL-C, DBP, While a negatively correlated with HDL-C, ISI. Multiple linear regression suggests that BF% is an independent risk factor for the serum vaspin concentrations. Conclusion: The serum vaspin concentration was strongly associated with obesity and atherogenic index. Monitoring the serum vaspin levels may have a very important value for understanding the degree of obesity and insulin resistance.
