To assess the role of iron overload in type 2 diabetic men with hyperferritinemia.
150 men were recruited from a genetic screening programme for hereditary hemocromatosis (HH) and were tested for type 2 diabetes, other components of the metabolic syndrome, beta cell function (BCF), insulin sensitivity, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and iron overload.
Fifty-one men had type 2 diabetes. They were older (p=0.017) and 99 had lower BCF (p<0.001) than non-diabetic men. None of the iron overload indexes was associated with diabetes.
Our findings dispute a role of iron overload in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.
评估铁过载在伴有高血铁蛋白的 2 型糖尿病男性中的作用。
从遗传性血色病(HH)遗传筛查计划中招募了 150 名男性,并对其进行了 2 型糖尿病、代谢综合征的其他成分、β细胞功能(BCF)、胰岛素敏感性、高敏 C 反应蛋白和铁过载的检测。
51 名男性患有 2 型糖尿病。与非糖尿病男性相比,他们年龄更大(p=0.017),99 名男性的 BCF 更低(p<0.001)。铁过载指标均与糖尿病无关。
我们的研究结果对铁过载在 2 型糖尿病发病机制中的作用提出了质疑。
