Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complicated, persistent, chronic disease. Obestatin is an anorexigenic gut hormone associated with atherosclerosis, increased insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to examine serum obestatin levels in Egyptian patients with T2DM in addition to exploring their associations with diabetic microvascular complications.
