Abstract

Background: Oxidative stress and inflammation are the key features of metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). However, studies that explored redox homeostasis parameters in relation to T2D show discrepant results. Accordingly, we aimed to examine the potential reliability of oxidative stress biomarkers [i.e., determined by malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and catalase (CAT)] in addition to traditional cardiometabolic parameters in relation to T2D in female cohort. Methods: A total of 214 women (of them 40.6% T2D) were consecutively recruited in the study. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation was performed to determine the adequate number of factors consisting of anthropometric, traditional cardiometabolic and redox status markers. Results: MDA and AOPP concentrations were lower, but CAT activity was higher in T2D group as compared with controls (P < 0.001, P = 0.002, P < 0.001). Traditional markers related factor (i.e., with positive loading of waist circumference, triglycerides, uric acid, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and negative loadings of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) was found to be independently related with T2D in multivariate binary regression analysis, whereas oxidative stress related factor (i.e., with positive loading of MDA and AOPP) lost its independent prediction after adjustment for confounding factors (i.e., age, menopausal status, antihypertensive, and hypolipemic therapies). Increased Traditional markers related factor was associated with more than three times higher probability for T2D onset (OR = 3.319, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Oxidative stress biomarkers, i.e., MDA, AOPP, and CAT are not superior over traditional cardiometabolic markers in relation to T2D in female population. Future studies with both gender included are needed to confirm such results. © Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
