Association of ANGPTL8 and Resistin With Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
BackgroundPrevious studies showed altered angiopoietin-like protein-8 (ANGPTL-8) and resistin circulating levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Whether or not the alteration in ANGPTL-8 and resistin level can be a predictive maker for increased ...
