Serum vascular endothelial growth factor level is elevated in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Objective This study was performed to investigate the serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in Chinese patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 189 subjects (41 controls, 40 patients with IGT, and 108 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM) were recruited. Serum VEGF levels were determined by ELISA; other metabolic parameters were assessed by standard laboratory methods. Results There were significant differences in seru… Show more

“…Moreover, there was no significant correlation between VEGF with age, gender, BMI, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, HbA1c, and other metabolic markers (cholesterol, LDL, and TG), p > 0.05. The detailed other research found no significant relationships between VEGF and sex, age, BMI, HbA1c, FBG, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, UA, or HCY [7]. Nevertheless, our study found a significant correlation between VEGF with FBS, HDL, and HIF-1α.…”

“…Like research by Martynova et al reported that high TGs were associated with high serum VEGF [14]. However, different research by Sun et al that there were no significant relationships between VEGF and any of the following factors such as sex, age, BMI, HbA1c, FBG, TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C at type 2 DM [15]. In this study, we found that there was a significant and positive correlation between VEGF and BMI over a large range of BMI 17.63 kg/m 2 and 46.44 kg/m…”

“…Moreover, it has been reported that VEGF levels in plasma were positively correlated with fasting blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, and via the multiple linear regression analysis showed that HbA1c ratio were the independent predictors of VEGF levels in Type-2 DM patients ( 17 ). Another study has also shown that there was an increase in serum VEGF levels in the group of samples with Insulin Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and the Type-2 Diabetes mellitus groups compared to those in the healthy sample group ( 18 ). These higher VEGF levels in patients without microvascular complications group could be an indicator that endothelial angiogenesis is still ongoing and carries a risk of microvascular complications.…”
