In line with our finding, several studies have reported that circulating GPLD1 levels increased in patients with type 1 diabetes, STZ-induced diabetic rats [7], nonobese diabetic mice, STZ-induced diabetic CD-1 mice [1] and high-fructose diet-induced diabetic mice [26] as compared to the controls. Here, GPLD1 is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
