[HTML][HTML] Association of erythrocyte membrane fatty acids with changes in glycemia and risk of type 2 diabetes
Y Mahendran, J Ågren, M Uusitupa… - The American Journal of …, 2014 - Elsevier
Background: The significance of erythrocyte membrane fatty acids (EMFAs) and their ratios
to predict hyperglycemia and incident type 2 diabetes is unclear. Objective: We investigated
EMFAs as predictors of the worsening of hyperglycemia and incident type 2 diabetes in a 5-y
follow-up of a population-based study. Design: We measured EMFAs in 1346 Finnish men
aged 45–73 y at baseline [mean±SD age: 55±6 y; body mass index (in kg/m 2): 26.5±3.5].
Our prospective follow-up study included only men who were nondiabetic at baseline and …
