We attempted to reevaluate the clinical significance of two parameters, 1,5-anhydroglucitol (AG) and type IV collagen, which are widely available in the fields of clinical activity. 1) 1,5 AG 1,5 AG was measured as a marker of glycemic control for diabetic patients by means of a column-enzymatic test (Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd). Serum 1, 5 AG levels in diabetic patients (3.0 +/- 5.8 micrograms/ml, mean +/- SD) were significantly lower than in normal subjects (22.4 +/- 6.9 micrograms/ml). 75 g OGTT was performed on 428 subjects with urinary glucose detected on previous medical examination. According to the selectivity index (sensitivity value x specificity value) and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) for diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was slightly superior to 1,5 AG and fructosamine for diabetes screening. Furthermore, unexpectedly high levels of 1, 5 AG were obtained from the plasma of diabetic patients with this kit, when the patients were given a drip infusion containing maltose. We found that the maltose contained in the assay system interfered with measurement of 1, 5 AG. Nevertheless, 1, 5 AG measurements are thought to be useful in the diagnosis and screening of diabetes mellitus because of its wideranging fluctuations under relatively good glycemic control, as suggested by Yamanouchi, et al. 2) type IV collagen The type IV collagen peptide is known as a useful marker of progressive liver diseases and early stages of diabetic nephropathy. Type IV collagen was measured by one step sandwich enzyme immunoassay (EIA) using monoclonal antibodies (Panaassay IV CL; Fuji Chem. Ind., Ltd).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
