pubmed:abstractText |
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) inhibits endothelial cell injury. Further, serum levels of PEDF are elevated in the metabolic syndrome. These observations suggest that PEDF may be elevated as a counter-system against vascular cell damage in the metabolic syndrome. However, little is known about the regulation of PEDF in patients with diabetes. In order to clarify the determinants of serum PEDF, here, we examined the relationship between the 1-year changes in PEDF levels and those in anthropometric and metabolic variables in type 2 diabetic patients.
