Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the possible effects of leptin and oxidative stress on the pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Material and Methods: Subjects were assigned to four groups: type 1 diabetes group (n=20),...
Aim: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a disease with complex and poorly understood etiology. One of the common risk factors of PC is diabetes mellitus (DM). Increased carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels can be used as a biomarker in diagnosis of PC. However, CA 19-9 levels have...
Objective: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a determinant of platelet function. Determining the MPV levels is very important for the diabetic patients who have the risk of developing vascular diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate any significant difference in the...
Objective: Cysta tin C has been proposed for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This study was designed to evaluate cystatin C levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as an early marker of diabetic nephropathy.
Materials and Methods:...
Objective: In this study, we investigated the relationship between androgen levels and type 2 diabetes in men and women.
Material and Methods: 99 diabetic patients receiving oral antidiabetic treatment, without any micro and macrovascular complications,...
Objective: Obesity represents a significant global health concern characterized by substantial metabolic abnormalities and a heightened risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Novel peptides including irisin, adropin, and preptin have been shown to play important...
Aim: The frequency and severity of urinary tract infections (UTI) in diabetic patients are increasing. HbA1c retrospectively gives important information about glycemic control. In this study it was aimed to examine the relationships between presence of microscobic...
Objective: A natural anticoagulant Protein C and its cofactor free Protein S, play an important role in the development of thrombosis in diabetics. In this study, we compared Protein C and Protein S concentrations in type 2 diabetic patients and healthy controls and observed...
Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end stage renal disease. Early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is essential for prevention progression to end stage renal disease.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the...
