Abstract

BACKGROUND: Inflammation occurs in chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Insulin resistance and inflammation in type 2 DM with obesity can increase interleukin (IL)-6, causing an increase in hepcidin synthesis in the liver. Increased inflammation can exacerbate the course of type 2 DM. This study aims to prove that there are differences in the levels of hepcidin and IL-6 between obese and non-obese type 2 DM.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 61 patients with type 2 DM, consist of 22 male and 39 female with an age of more than 40 years. Type 2 DM subjects were obtained from a doctor's diagnosis and were divided into obese and non-obese groups based on body mass index (BMI). Hepcidin and IL-6 levels were examined using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) principle. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test.RESULTS: The mean level of hepcidin in the obese with type 2 DM group was 25.32±11.54 ng/mL, and non-obese was 11.94±5.31 ng/mL. The median level of IL-6 in the obese with type 2 DM group was 11.9 (5-61) pg/mL, and non-obese 4.8 (1.5-9.8) pg/mL. There was a significant difference in hepcidin and IL-6 levels between the obese and non-obese groups (p=0.000).CONCLUSION: Hepcidin and IL-6 levels in the obese group with type 2 DM were higher than non-obese group.KEYWORDS: type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, hepcidin, interleukin-6

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Transthyretin protein experiences misfolding and aggregation in preeclampsia due to placental ischemia and inflammation. Placental endothelial damage occurring in preeclampsia stimulates the production of larger young platelets in the bone marrow and can be reflected by an increase in the immature platelet fraction (IPF) and mean platelet volume (MPV). Since the change in these markers in preeclampsia remains controversial, this study was conducted to analyze the differences in levels of transthyretin, IPF, and MPV as easily accessible markers in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancies.METHODS: Total subjects included in this study were 32 normotensive and 26 preeclampsia pregnant woman. The measurement of serum transthyretin level was using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Meanwhile, IPF and MPV levels were measured by using a hematology analyzer with flowcytometry method. Data was statistically analyzed using unpaired T-test and Mann-Whitney, with significancy of p<0.05.RESULTS: Median value of transthyretin in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancy were 11 (6-30) mg/dL and 9 (5-18) mg/dL. The mean value of IPF in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancy were 4.56±2.19% and 6.33±2.99%. Mean value of MPV in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancy were 10.41±0.76 fL and 11.32±1.2 fL. There were significant differences in levels of transthyretin, IPF, and MPV between normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancies (p=0.008, p=0.017, and p=0.002, respectively).CONCLUSION: There are significant differences in transthyretin levels, IPF, and MPV values in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancies. Therefore, serum transthyretin, IPF, and MPV can be developed as affordable parameters for the diagnosis of preeclampsia.KEYWORDS: preeclampsia, transthyretin, IPF, MPV
