Correlation of serum CTRP9 and CTRP15 levels with HOMA-IR and HOMA-B in metabolic syndrome patients with and without coronary artery disease
In this study, decreased insulin secretion was found to correlate with increased CTRP15 levels in patients with metabolic syndrome and coronary artery disease. This finding suggests the potential role of CTRP15 in the pathophysiology of beta cell dysfunction possibly reflecting either a state of CTRP15 resistance or a compensatory response to impaired insulin secretion.
