Abstract
Purpose: This study examines whether Angiopoietin Like 8 (ANGPTL8) is linked to cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) in Saudi women with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: Case-control investigation compared 150 women aged 30-60 with T2DM to 140 healthy women of the same age and gender.
Results: ANGPTL8 levels differed significantly between T2DM and non-diabetics. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin resistance (IR), triglycerides (TG), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), body mass index (BMI), and atherogenic index (AIP) of plasma all correlated positively with ANGPTL8 concentrations. Insulin levels correlated negatively with ANGPTL8. Multiple linear regression models showed that elevated ANGPTL8 independently predicted higher FBG, hs-CRP, IR, TG, and AIP in T2DM patients.
Conclusion: The study found a significant association between ANGPTL8 levels and IR, hs-CRP, TG, AIP, and BMI in women with T2DM. These components are classified as CMRFs and have the potential to contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
