Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between proinflammatory cytokines in special, the interleukin-6 (IL-6), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) levels in coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: This study was conducted from November 2017 to March 2018 in Anbar, Iraq. We studied a total of 90 individuals (46 men and 44 women) aged between 20 and 87 years. The samples were divided into four groups: CAD patients (n=23), T2DM patients (n=23), coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes together in the same patient (n=23), and control group (n=21). The concentrations of IL-6 and IGF-1 were determined using a commercially available enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay.Results: The results of the present study showed that there were elevated serum levels of IL-6 and low levels of IGF-1 in all the tested groups, compared with the control. The difference was statistically significant at p<0.05. The results showed a positively correlated between IL-6 and IGF-1 in the CAD group and T2DM group, while it was a negative correlation between serum levels of IL-6 and IGF-1 in the T2DM+CAD group.Conclusion: Elevated levels serum of IL-6 predicts the development of CAD and T2DM. These data support a possible role for inflammation in diabetogenesis and complication of the cardiovascular disease. There is an inverse relationship between the levels serum of IGF-1 and increased risk of CAD and development of T2DM.

Backgraund: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), in particular. Obesity lead to several fibrotic processes, including activation of transforming growth factor (TGF-). Recent data indicate the involvement of Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) as an important metabolic regulator, and even biomarker of metabolic changes in obesity and T2DM. Impact of metabolic dysregulation that accompany obesity and T2DM in CAD development remain a great challenge. Aims: To study TGF- and FGF-21 level in patients with obesity and T2DM. Materials and methods: TGF- and FGF-21 were identified in peripheral blood samples of 66 patients with obesity, aged 48-65 years. 1st group included 21 patients with CHD and T2DM; 2nd group (22 patients)- with T2DM and excluded CHD; 3rd group (20 patients) with normal glucose metabolism and excluded CHD. Results: TGF- was lower in patients with CHD (group 1) than in the group of "metabolically healthy" obesity (p=0.022). TGF- in patients with T2DM negatively correlated with LDL cholesterol (r=-0.426, p=0.038) the degree of internal carotid artery stenosis (r=-0.426, p=0.024). Patients with verified CHD had a negative correlation with the processes of heart muscle remodeling (thickness of the left ventricular posterior wall (r=- 0.386, p=0.029) interventricular septum (r=-0.335, p=0.031). All patients with obesity had significantly increased level of FGF-21 compared with the control group (p=0.031) FGF-21 positively correlated with BMI (r=0.473, p=0.033) Conclusions: TGF- has negative correlations with the factors that can influence prognosis and the severity of the CVD/. There were found correlations of FGF-21, TGF- with pathological angiogenesis and changes in normal cardiac geometry in obesity, T2DM and CAD.

Introduction: Recently great attention is paid to studying of coronary artery disease (CAD) pathogenesis against the background of the diabetes mellitus (DM). First of all, the question of an inflammatory component role in development of atherosclerosis in patients with DM 2 types is studied. One of new perspective markers of immune inflammation is pentraxin-3 (PTX-3). The aim of the study was to evaluate the nature of changes in the level of pentraxin-3 in patients with coronary artery disease, depending on the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and to investigate the nature of the relationship with metabolic parameters. Materials and methods: Comprehensive examination of 110 patients with CAD was conducted. Patients were divided into groups depending on presence of type 2 DM: to the first group (n = 75) entered patients with CAD and type 2 DM , the group of comparison was made by 35 patients with CAD without type 2 DM. 25 almost healthy persons entered into control group. Results: As a result of a research it is established the reliable increase in PTX-3 level in all patients with CAD in comparison with group of control for 65.40% . And in the conditions of the combined current of CAD and type 2 DM, PTX-3 level is for 80.14% higher, than in persons of control group. Also interrelation between PTX-3 and indicators of dcarbohydrate and lipidic exchanges were defines. According to the carried-out correlation analysis there was revealed existence of direct integral probable connections between PTX-3 level and levels of glucose (r = 0.41; p <0,05), insulin (r = 0.36; p <0,05), index of HOMA (r = 0.89; p <0,05), TG level (r = 0.74; p <0,05) and the return with the HDL (r = - 0.54; p <0,05). Conclusions: In patients with CAD with the accompanying type 2 DM it is established higher PTX-3 level, than in patients without type 2 DM and control group that demonstrates autoimune link activation. In the examined patients PTX-3 level increase was associated with violation of lipid and carbohydrate exchanges.

Abstract Background. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes compared with subjects without diabetes. Many studies have been shown that CAD has resulted from the interaction of genetic markers implicated in dyslipidaemia and oxidative stress. The PPARγ gene is considered as a potential candidate gene for the link between diabetes mellitus and CAD in patients with diabetes mellitus. The purpose of the present study was to determine the association of Pro12Ala PPARγ2 polymorphism (rs1801282) with CAD in Iranian patients with T2DM.Methods. We studied 290 unrelated Iranian subjects, including 145 healthy controls and 145 CAD patients with a history of T2DM. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood, and the PPARγ2 gene mutations were analyzed using the PCR–RFLP technique.Results. Our results revealed a significant difference between the allele frequencies of PPARγ2 Pro12Ala polymorphism between the case and control subjects. However, no significant association was observed between Pro12Ala genotypes and physiologic variables.Conclusion. In summary, it could be concluded that PPARγ2 Pro12Ala polymorphism may be an essential indicator of the increased risk of CAD in diabetic patients among the Iranian population.Trial Registration.
