Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: hyperleptinaemia in both subjects. Conclusively, leptin trends towards lower levels but are not different in newly diagnosed DM than controls. The association of leptin with obesity is similar but stronger in diabetes than controls, with no relations to FI and HOMA-IR. WC and BMI are independent predictors of hyperleptinaemia.
