The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between marker of chronic subclinical inflammation and gender and atherogenic index (AI) in subjects with T2DM. Methods: Two hundred and fifty-four subjects with T2DM were included. Demographic and anthropometric variables were estimated. Plasma glucose, serum lipid profile and high sensitivity-C reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured in fasting blood samples using standard methods. AI was calculated as log (concentration of triacylglycerol/high density lipoprotein cholesterol). Results: The median and interquartile range of age was 51 (43-60) years. Of the total subjects, 47% was female and had higher hsCRP [3.1 (1.7-5.6.. View More»
