We also noted that BMI, body fat mass, SBP, DBP, TCH, log-TG, log-creatinine, log-HbA1c, log-hs-CRP, log-insulin, and log-HOMA-IR were positively correlated with A-FABP levels, while height, albumin, and GFR were negatively correlated with A-FABP levels in our DM subjects. This evidence concerns the gene INS and diabetes mellitus.
