Abstract:BACKGROUND: The main condition of pre-diabetes is insulin resistance that can lead to a prothrombotic state.
AIM: This study aims to correlate insulin resistance with soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) plasma in pre-diabetic patients.
METHODS: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. HOMA-IR assessed insulin resistance, and prothrombotic factors were assessed by PAI-1 and soluble CD40L. PAI-1 and sCD40L were examined by ELISA. T… Show more
