Highlights
- •Endothelin-1 may predict impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes in women.
- •Endothelin-1 and impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) was not associated in men.
- •Endothelin-1 exhibits apparent sex differences as a predictor of IGM.
Abstract
We addressed whether endothelin-1, a marker of endothelial dysfunction, predicts impaired
glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a population study
in south-western Sweden. Follow-up after 9.7 years showed an association between circulating
endothelin-1 levels at baseline and development of IGT/T2DM in women but not in men.
