Compared with the euglycemic group, the prediabetes group presented significantly higher WC (102.2 ± 11.8 versus 94.3 ± 14.0 cm, P = 0.04, respectively), HC (106.9 ± 10.6 versus 97.3 ± 16.3 cm, P = 0.02, respectively), uric acid (6.6 ±1.5 versus 5.1 ± 1.4 mg/dl, P = 0.003, respectively), serum insulin (9.6 (5.4-17.9) versus 5.7 (3.3-9.0) mUI/ml, P = 0.03, respectively), HOMA-IR (2.6 (1.2-4.7) versus 1.4 (0.7-1.7), P = 0.01, respectively) and microalbuminuria (30.6 ± 88.0 versus 5.2 ± 3.3 μg/min, P = 0.02, respectively), as shown in Table 2. This evidence concerns the gene INS and prediabetes syndrome.
