Abstract


Recently, YKL-40 has been identified as a new inflammatory marker of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while leptin is one of the most important adipose derived hormones. However, the relationship between them has not been elucidated. Therefore this study aimed to study their correlation in obese T2DM patients.
