SERPINB1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: After adjusting for age and sex (Model 1), the serum SerpinB1 levels were positively correlated with HOMA2-%S (β = 0.319, P = 0.036), and negatively correlated with FBG (β = -0.365, P = 0.010), T-Chol (β = -0.396, P = 0.006), LDL-Chol (β = -0.411, P = 0.004), TG (β = -0.321, P = 0.026), and γGTP (β = -0.322, P = 0.026) in the T2DM subjects (Table 3).
