Serum Neopterin Concentration and Impaired Glucose Metabolism: Relationship With β-Cell Function and Insulin Resistance

Serum Neopterin Concentration and Impaired Glucose Metabolism: Relationship With β-Cell Function and Insulin Resistance

Aim: The purpose of this study was to measure the serum neopterin according to glucose metabolism and to evaluate neopterin as a predictor of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a hospital-based cohort.Methods: A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed by people who visited the outpatient clinic...
