Abstract

Amaç: Asimetrik dimetil arginin (ADMA), metilenmiş arginin, endotelyal nitric oksit (NO) sentaz inhibitörüdür. NO daha önceden Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Faktörü olarak bilinen, vasküler endotelyumdan sentezlenen önemli vazoaktif mediatördür. ADMA, endotel fonksiyon bozukluğunun yeni bir belirteci ve endotelyal fonksiyon bozukluğu için yeni risk faktörüdür. ADMA’nın insülin direnci, hipertansiyon, diyabetes mellitus, hiperlipidemi gibi birçok kronik hastalıkta arttığı gösterilmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı Keçiören Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Endokrinoloji polikliniğinde 2011- 2013 yılları arasında takip edilen Tip 1 Diyabetes Mellitus tanılı 39 hasta ve aynı yaş grubunda 31 kontrol alındı. Cinsiyet, yaş, ağırlık, boy, vücut kitle indeksi, sistolik ve diastolik kan basıncı, açlık kan şekeri düzeyleri ve diyabet süreleri hastaların dosyalarından kaydedildi. Total kolesterol, HDL kolesterol, trigliserid, ADMA düzeyleri, folat ve homosistein düzeyleri açısından her iki grup karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Hasta grubu ve kontrol grubunda boy, kilo ve VKİ, yaş ve cinsiyet, sistolik ve diastolik kan basıncı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p>0.05). Tip 1 DM grubunda ADMA düzeyi (0.7±0.4 μmol/L) kontrol grubundan (0.6±0.1 μmol/L) anlamlı yüksek saptandı (p=0,004). Hasta ve kontrol grubu arasında ortalama homosistein ve folat düzeyleri benzer olup aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p=0.368 ve 0.0887, sırasıyla).Sonuç: Endotelyal hasar ile ADMA arasındaki ilişki tip 1 DM’da ADMA ölçümlerinin vasküler hasarlanmada bir ön belirteç olarak kullanılmasını sağlayacak ve vasküler komplikasyonların önlenmesine yardımcı olabilecektir.

An Assessment of the Correlation Between Serum Asymmetric Dimethylarginine and Early Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Objective: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a methylated L-arginine analog, is a major endogenous competitive inhibitor of Nitric oxide (NO). NO is an important critical vasoactive mediator synthesized by the vascular endothelium, previously referred to as endothelium-derived relaxing factor. ADMA is a novel risk factor and a novel statement of endothelial dysfunction. ADMA levels are clinically increased in several clinical conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, insulin resistance syndrome, dyslipidemia. Material and Methods: Thirty-one healthy children and 39 patients with Type 1 DM diagnosis, routinely followed by Keçiören Training and Research Hospital Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic between 2011 and 2013 were included in the study. Gender, age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood sugar values and diabetes duration were obtained from patient files. Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, ADMA, HbA1c, folate and homocysteine levels were compared between the two groups. results: There were no significant differences between the Type 1 DM group and the control group with respect to age, gender, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Average ADMA level in the Type 1 DM patient group (0.7±0.4 µmol/L) was significantly higher than the control group (0.6±0.1 µmol/L) (p=0.004). The homocysteine and folate levels for the two groups were similar and the differences were not significant (p=0.368 and 0.887, respectively).conclusion: The relation between endothelium damage and ADMA may lead to follow up ADMA measurement values being used as a pre marker for vascular damage in type 1 diabetes, and in turn help in preventing vascular complications
