Role of rs6923761 gene variant in glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor in basal GLP-1 levels, cardiovascular risk factor and serum adipokine levels in naïve type 2 diabetic patients
Role of GLP-1 variants on basal GLP-1 levels, body weight and cardiovascular risk factors remains unclear in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.Our aim was to analyze the effects of rs6923761 GLP-1 receptor polymorphism on body weight, cardiovascular risk factors, basal GLP-1 levels and serum adipokine levels in naïve patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.A sample of 104 naïve patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 was enrolled in a prospective way. Basal fasting glucose, c-reactive protein (CRP), insulin, insulin resistance (HOMA), total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides concentration, basal GLP-1, HbA1c and adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, resistin) levels were determined. Weights, body mass index, waist circumference, fat mass by bioimpedance and blood pressure measures were measured.Forty-nine patients (47.1%) had the genotype GG and 55 (52.9%) diabetic subjects had the next genotypes; GA (44 patients, 42.3%) or AA (11 study subjects, 10.6%) (second group). In A allele carriers, basal GLP-1 levels were higher than non-carriers (2.9 ± 2.1 ng/ml; p0.05). No differences were detected between both genotype groups.Our cross-sectional study revealed an association between the rs6923761 GLP-1 receptor polymorphism (A allele carriers) and basal GLP-1 levels in naïve patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.
