Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background and aims: Some studies have pointed to a role of UCP3 in the regulation of fat distribution. The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of -55CT polymorphism of UCP3 gene on fat mass and adipocytokines in naïve patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. Design: A population of 57 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and obesity was analyzed in a cross sectional study. Genotype of UCP3 gene -55CT was studied. Results: Forty six patients (80.7%) had the genotype 55CC and 11 patients (19.3%) 55CT. In patients with mutant genotype, fat mass (39.1+/-15.4 kg vs 53.3+/-16.8 kg;p<0.05), weight (92.6+/-17.7 kg vs 106.3+/-17.3 kg:p<0.05), body mass index (36.2+/-6.5 kg/m2 vs 42.8+/-5.2 kg/m2;p<0.05), waist circumference (112.8+/-13.6 cm vs 127.9+/-12.3 cm:p<0.05) and waist to hip ratio (0.96+/-0.1 vs 1.1+/-0.2:p<0.05), C reactive protein (6.1+/-5.1 mg/dl vs 12.4+/-6.1 mg/dl:p<0.05) and leptin (92.8+/-86 ng/ml vs 114+/-89 ng/ml:p<0.05) were higher than patients with wild genotype. Conclusion: In mutant group of - 55 CT UCP3 gene diabetic patients, c reactive protein and fat mass were higher than wild type patients.
