Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In patients with DKD, GDF-15 was significantly associated with increased risk of MACE after adjustments for baseline age, sex, microalbuminuria, and kidney function and (59 MACE events during 7 years follow-up, hazard ratio per standard deviation increase 1.43 [95% CI 1.03-1.98]) but not after further adjustments for cardiovascular risk factors.<b>Conclusion:</b> Our proteomics approach confirms and extends previous associations of higher circulating levels of GDF-15 with both micro- and macrovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. 31805809 2020
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Genetic instruments and summary statistics for MR analyses were obtained from a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) of GDF15 and cardiometabolic outcomes (n = 27,394 to 644,875), including body mass index, waist-hip ratio, waist circumference, whole-body lean mass, fat percentage, Type 2 Diabetes, fasting glucose, glycated haemoglobin, fasting insulin, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, coronary artery disease, and estimated BMD (eBMD). 30772304 2019
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE To gain insight into the relationship of GDF-15 with metformin and major cardiovascular risk factors, we analysed the data from the SUMMIT cohort (n = 1438), a four-centre, nested, case-control study aimed at verifying whether biomarkers of atherosclerosis differ according to the presence of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. 30178545 2019
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The expression level of MIC-1 was significantly higher in T2DM patients compared with controls, with a standard mean difference (SMD) of 0.54 and a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 0.24-0.83; in blood samples, the difference was still significant (SMD = 0.65; 95%CI = 0.24-1.06). 31827641 2019
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE GDF-15 was not associated with type 2 diabetes, glycaemic traits, CAD risk factors or colorectal cancer. 31161347 2019
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Growth differentiation factor-15 and fibroblast growth factor-23 are associated with mortality in type 2 diabetes - An observational follow-up study. 29698460 2018
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE To investigate the predictive value of a biomarker in such a setting, we examined baseline levels of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), N-terminal prohormone of B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) in relation to renal and cardiovascular risk in T2D patients with nephropathy. 28341782 2017
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Elevated serum growth differentiation factor 15 levels are associated with thyroid nodules in type 2 diabetes aged over 60 years. 28489602 2017
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In animal models, overexpression of GDF15 leads to a lean phenotype, hypophagia and other improvements in metabolic parameters, suggesting that recombinant GDF15 protein could potentially be used in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. 28846098 2017
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Both obese and T2DM group had significantly elevated serum MIC-1 levels relative to controls. 19515791 2009
