Abstract:

Objective To investigate the relations of serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and gamma-glutamyltransferase(GGT) with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and to provide a reference for the early prevention of T2DM. Methods A total of 2 597 healthy subjects, who finished questionnaires,were enrolled. They were classified into 4 groups according to the quartiles of serum ALT and GGT levels(Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4 groups from low levels to high levels). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relations of serum ALT and GGT with T2DM. Results Body mass index(BMI),systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), glucose(Glu),total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and the prevalence rate of hypertension increased with serum ALT or GGT(P<0.05), while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)decreased with serum ALT or GGT(P<0.001). For serum ALT and GGT, the risks of T2DM in Q4 group had 1.70 times [odds ratio(OR)=1.70,95% confidence interval(CI)1.05-2.73] and 2.38 times(OR=2.38,95%CI 1.77-3.17)higher than those in Q1 group, respectively, after the adjustment of age,sex,smoking,drinking,physical activity,family history of diabetes mellitus,BMI,TG,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and hypertension.Conclusions Serum ALT and GGT are related with the risk of T2DM.
