Synopsis:

Metals are central to hold the bioactivity of numerous enzymes and proteins on which life is based. Several previously published studies demonstrated the functions of transition and trace elements Fe, Zn, Mg, Cu, Mn and Cr in insulin action and carbohydrate metabolism. This study aimed to assess the interrelationship of some selected metals such as Mg, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mn, Pb, Ni and Fe in urines of T2D patients versus non-diabetic subjects. The findings of this study could provide a way to explore urinary metal-based marker(s) for disease pathogenesis and progression.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To compare the levels of some selected essential and toxic metals in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients and non-diabetic (ND) healthy controls. Furthermore, study aims to evaluate the possible interrelationship of metals in urine of type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients and non-diabetic (ND) healthy controls.

Synopsis:

The present study was designed to evaluate the relationship between HBV infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus first time from Pakistan and found that HBV infection did not enhance the risk of diabetes despite the significant differences in the biochemical parameters among the study's sample.

ABSTRACT

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and diabetes mellitus are major health problems associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The published literature suggests an association of diabetes mellitus with liver disease. However, the role of HBV infection in diabetes aetiology is still controversial. The present study was conducted to explore the veracity of this enigmatic association among Pakistani subjects.
