Aim:Chemerin,a new adipocytokine,has been suggested to be linked to obesity-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.The association of plasma chemerin levels with diabetic nephropathy,however,is unknown.Therefore,this study aims to determine whether plasma chemerin levels are associated with renal function in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods:A total of 116 type 2 diabetic patients and 38 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study.Serum levels of chemerin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
