Soluble CD36 (sCD36) Clusters with Markers of Insulin Resistance, and High sCD36 Is Associated with Increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk

Abstract

Upper quartile sCD36 is associated with elevated diabetes risk independent of age, gender, and obesity. Baseline sCD36 does not, however, predict diabetes independent of fasting glucose and insulin. sCD36 clusters with important markers of insulin resistance and MetSy that are key predictors of type 2 diabetes.
