A Study of the Correlation Between Serum Adenosine Deaminase Level and Fasting Serum Insulin Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents a group of common metabolic diseases that results in inadequate insulin secretion and diminished sensitivity to insulin. Adenosine mimics insulin's effects on lipid and glucose metabolism and blocks those effects on total hepatic glucose output, which raises the possibility that adenosine induces localised insulin resistance in the liver. The purine metabolism enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) breaks down adenosine into inosine and ammonia, which lowers the levels of adenosine.
Aims and objectives:
This was a study of correlation between serum adenosine deaminase level and fasting serum insulin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Materials and methods:
It is a cross sectional study of 70 patients with newly diagnosed or known type 2 diabetes mellitus from outpatient and inpatient department.
Result:
Mildly positive correlation was found between serum ADA with FBG, PPBG and HbA1C with r value of 0.085,0.193 and 0.157 respectively. Serum fasting insulin had a mild correlation with FBG and significant correlation with PPBS (p=0.027) and HbA1C (p = 0.022). Serum adenosine deaminase was positively correlated with QUICKI (r=0.126) and serum fasting insulin was strongly and significantly correlated with QUICKI (p=0.0001). Serum adenosine deaminase level and serum fasting insulin were mildly correlated with each other (r=0.201 and p=0.991).
Conclusion:
DM type-2 is an important health problem globally. Diabetes is becoming more common and prevalent at a concerning rate. We discovered that patients with poorly managed type-2 DM had the highest levels of ADA. FBS and PPBS had a favourable correlation with ADA. It was discovered that ADA levels and QUICKI had an inversely proportional association. Even if a positive correlation was discovered, more future studies are required to adequately evaluate the function of ADA in the beginning and development of type-2 DM.
