Methods Type 2 diabetic mellitus(DM) model rats were established by intraperitoneally injecting with 30 mg/kg streptozotocin. After 8 weeks, 19 male rats were identified as diabetic with left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH) by ultrasound examination, and randomly assigned into three groups: untreated(DM-LVH, n=7), treated with insulin(DM-LVH+INS, n=6), and treated with 1, 25-(OH)2D3(DM-LVH+VD, n=6). Healthy male rats were used as the controls group(n=6). The fasting blood glucose and the insulin level were determined weekly. The left ventricular mass index, myocardial collagen content, collagen volume fraction, and 1, 25-(OH)2D3-receptor level were determined by 4 weeks later. Results In the DM-LVH model group, the insulin level was significantly decreased compared with the non-diabetic control group(P<0.05), whereas the blood glucose, left ventricular mass index, myocardial collagen content, collagen volume fraction, and 1, 25-(OH)2D3-receptor expression were significantly increased(all P<0.05). In the DM-LVH+INS and DM-LVH+VD groups, the insulin levels were significantly increased compared with the DM-LVH model group(P<0.05), whereas the other parameters were significantly decreased(all P<0.05). Conclusion 1, 25-(OH)2D3 could reverse LVH in diabetic rats and that the mechanism may involve stimulating insulin secretion and reducing blood glucose via direct up-regulation of 1, 25-(OH)2D3-receptor expression.展开更多

Methods: A total of 258 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM in this hospital between July 2015 and July 2017 were selected as T2DM group, and 100 subjects with normal glucose metabolism who received physical examination in this hospital during the same period were selected as normal control group. The differences in serum 25(OH)D3 levels, ultrasonic carotid atherosclerosis parameters as well as serum lipid metabolism index and inflammatory adipocytokines contents were compared between the two groups. Pearson test was used to assess the correlation between serum 25(OH)D3 level and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. Results: Serum 25(OH)D3 content of T2DM group was lower than that of normal control group;PWV and CC levels of the ultrasonic left and right carotid arteries were higher than those of normal control group;serum lipid metabolism indexes TC and LDL-C contents were higher than those of normal control group whereas HDL-C content was lower than that of normal control group;serum inflammatory cytokine APN content was lower than that of normal control group whereas CHEM, RSTN and LEP contents were higher than those of normal control group. Pearson test showed that serum 25(OH)D3 level in T2DM patients was directly correlated with the degree of carotid atherosclerosis. Conclusion: Serum 25(OH)D3 level is abnormally low in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM, and the specific decrease is directly correlated with the degree of carotid atherosclerosis and can be used as an early evaluation indicator for carotid artery disease in patients with T2DM.展开更多
