A new report discusses research findings on type 2 diabetes, specifically focusing on the relationship between gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The research suggests that higher levels of GGT are associated with an increased risk of T2DM, potentially serving as a risk predictor. The study proposes that oxidative stress, subclinical inflammation, and fatty liver may contribute to the development of T2DM by impairing insulin secretion and insulin resistance. The research also highlights a strong correlation between body mass index (BMI) and GGT, suggesting that hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance may be intermediate factors connecting these characteristics. For more information, readers can refer to the full article published in the Iranian Journal of Diabetes and Obesity. [Extracted from the article] |
