OBJECTIVES: To examine the impact of @entity6 state on the concentrations of @entity3452 [ @entity3452 ] in @entity1 with @entity2175 ( @entity2175 ) and the correlation between angiographic @entity453 ( @entity453 ) and serum @entity3452 concentrations in @entity2175 . DESIGN: In this cross-sectional study of 26 @entity1 with @entity2175 and 19 nondiabetic sex- and age-matched @entity1 who underwent coronary angiography. @entity453 was assessed visually using @entity453 ( @entity453 ), and plasma @entity3452 was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. SETTING: The study was performed in an internal medicine clinic at a university hospital. SUBJECTS: Twenty-six age- and sex-matched @entity1 with @entity2175 and 19 control @entity1 without @entity6 . RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the @entity3452 concentrations of @entity1 with @entity2175 and nondiabetic subjects (P > 0.05). When @entity1 with @entity2175 were stratified by absence or presence of @entity453 , @entity1 with @entity453 had higher levels of @entity3452 (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between the concentrations of @entity3452 and @entity453 (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: @entity6 state does not have any impact on @entity3452 concentrations. @entity3452 excess seems to be atherogenic in @entity1 with @entity2175 as shown in nondiabetic @entity1 in previous studies. Although @entity6 @entity1 with @entity453 have higher @entity3452 concentrations than the @entity6 @entity1 without @entity453 , @entity3452 levels were not correlated with @entity453 .
