Background Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is produced by cell failure of pancreatic cells and insulin resistance and is a disorder in which the amount of sugar in the blood is elevated. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) functions as an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase, a critical enzyme in lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to explore if the ANGPTL4 gene's E40K variant and ANGPTL4 serum levels are related to the Body mass index, fasting glucose levels, lipid levels, and glycated hemoglobin.Method75 people were enrolled in this case-control study, 25 of whom had type 2 diabetes mellitus while the other 50 were healthy control subjects. Fasting blood glucose, Lipid profile, Glycated hemoglobin were estimated by Cobas 111 analyzer, BMI (weight, height) was calculated, angiopoietin-like protein 4by anenzyme-linked immune sorbent test kit and TaqMan genotyping-based real-time PCR was used to ascertain ANGPTL4 genotypes. The variant was linked to the risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and parameters used to quantify the variant were identified. Result Patients in the 30-50 age range with type 2 diabetes and those in the same age group who serve as controls. The control group had a lower level of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) than the diabetes group. Patients with T2DM had a substantially (p< 0.0001) greater fasting serum Angiopoietin-like protein 4 level than the control group (135.1±6.70) ng/ml and (62.35±6.4) ng/ml, respectively. The diabetes group has significantly higher fasting serum glucose, lipid profile, and glycated hemoglobin compared with non-diabetics. Serum Angiopoietin-like protein 4 was correlated positively with body mass index. (CC,CT,TT) genotypes of the rs2010871 polymorphism There was a significant difference in frequency of the control group (p =0.0477); however, there was no significant difference in its level of (diabetics, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic before treatment)p-value (0.7066, 0.5555) respectively Conclusion Serum Angiopoietin-like protein 4 levels are negatively correlated to cholesterol, positively correlated to triglyceride, negatively correlated to HDL, positively correlated to HbA1c, negatively correlated to LDL, negatively correlated to VLDL, negatively correlated to FBS, negatively correlated to BMI. The C>T allele at the ANGPTL4 gene's rs2010871polymorphic locus was linked to a decreased prevalence of Type 2 diabetes.

Background: The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing substantially worldwide. CAD silently progresses over years in the diabetics. Diabetic individual appears to be less able to perceive some of the symptoms and signs of ischemia or may have asymptomatic ‘classic silent ischemia’. Thus, screening for early detection of asymptomatic CAD in type 2 diabetes may be helpful to prevent these catastrophic cardiac events and consequent deaths. Objectives of the study was to assess utility of TMT in Type 2 diabetic mellitus subjects to detect silent myocardial infarction.Methods: Hospital based observational analytical case control study was conducted in Department of Medicine in Dr BRAM Hospital Raipur during August 2016 to September 2018. Cases were 45 subjects of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus with normal ECG and controls were 45 subjects of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with abnormal resting ECG. Data analyzed using SPSS 17 version.Results: Majority i.e. 40% were found to be in fifth decade of their life. 71 (78.9%) male subjects and 19 (21.1%) female subjects. TMT was found positive in 8(17.8%) subjects with positive ECG changes whereas in 12(26.7%) subjects with no ECG changes. No significant difference was noted between distribution of any parameters except for hypertension which was found to be significantly higher in TMT positive subjects compared to TMT negative subjects.Conclusions: No significant difference was observed regarding TMT findings between T2DM subjects with and without ECG changes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects with dyslipidemia, and hypertension are at higher risk of Positive TMT.
