Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) is a metabolic regulating factor with an anti-diabetic effect. This study aimed to evaluate FGF-19 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its relationship with some metabolic risk factors.
In this case-control study, 80 diabetic patients and 80 non-diabetic individuals were divided into two subgroups based on body mass index (BMI): obese people (BMI≥30) and participants with normal weight (25>BMI≥18.5). Furthermore, stratified analysis by gender was also performed. The metabolic factors were measured and compared in all groups. The relationship between FGF-19 and the measured items was investigated in each group.
The FGF-19 levels did not show a significant difference between groups. The serum levels of FGF-19 were negatively associated with some metabolic items, such as BMI, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC) (p<0.01), and LDL/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (p=0.02) only in the healthy group with normal weight. According to the gender-based classification of individuals, FGF-19 showed a significant inverse relationship with BMI, weight (WT), waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) (p<0.05) in diabetic men; besides, FGF-19 in non-diabetic women had a significant negative association with TC, LDL, and LDL/HDL ratio (p<0.05).
The levels of FGF-19 were negatively correlated to WT, BMI, WC and HC in diabetic males. More studies are needed to warrant these results.
成纤维细胞生长因子 19(FGF-19)是一种具有抗糖尿病作用的代谢调节因子。本研究旨在评估 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)患者的 FGF-19 及其与一些代谢危险因素的关系。
在这项病例对照研究中,根据体重指数(BMI)将 80 名糖尿病患者和 80 名非糖尿病个体分为两组:肥胖者(BMI≥30)和体重正常者(25>BMI≥18.5)。此外,还按性别进行了分层分析。测量并比较了所有组的代谢因素。在每组中研究了 FGF-19 与测量项目之间的关系。
各组之间的 FGF-19 水平没有差异。FGF-19 的血清水平与一些代谢指标呈负相关,例如 BMI、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、总胆固醇(TC)(p<0.01)和 LDL/高密度脂蛋白(HDL)比值(p=0.02),仅在体重正常的健康组中。根据个体的性别分类,在糖尿病男性中,FGF-19 与 BMI、体重(WT)、腰围(WC)和臀围(HC)呈显著负相关(p<0.05);此外,非糖尿病女性的 FGF-19 与 TC、LDL 和 LDL/HDL 比值呈显著负相关(p<0.05)。
FGF-19 的水平与糖尿病男性的 WT、BMI、WC 和 HC 呈负相关。需要更多的研究来证实这些结果。
