PG - 578-85 LID - S0026-0495(12)00403-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.metabol.2012.10.011 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived protein, has potential antiatherogenic properties. Low levels of serum total-adiponectin (Total-APN) correlate with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). Adiponectin and C1q form a protein complex in blood, and serum C1q-binding adiponectin (C1q-APN) can be measured. We investigated the correlation between C1q-APN and CAD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: The study subjects were 107 outpatients with T2DM who underwent evaluation for CAD. Blood C1q, Total-APN, high-molecular weight-adiponectin (HMW-APN) and C1q-APN were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS: Serum levels of C1q-APN/Total-APN ratio were higher in patients diagnosed with CAD (10.47+/-0.59, mean+/-SEM, n=54) than those without CAD (8.88+/-0.60, n=53, p=0.0482). Age- and sex-adjusted logistic regression analysis identified serum C1q-APN/Total-APN ratio and hypertension as significant and independent determinants of CAD. A high serum C1q-APN/Total-APN ratio was associated with 3.965-fold increase in CAD prevalence. CONCLUSIONS: High serum C1q-APN/Total-APN ratio correlates with CAD in T2DM.
