Research Article: Associations Between Serum Folate Level and HOMA-IR in Chinese Patients with Type Diabetes Mellitus

Date Published: 2023-05-19

Abstract:
Folic acid, as an important nutrient, plays an important role in human health. This paper explains the mechanism and role of folic acid in insulin resistance in type diabetes, which is mainly caused by oxidative stress induced by high homocysteine induced by FA deficiency. This paper highlights the correlation between serum folic acid levels and the risk of insulin resistance in Chinese type diabetic patients and explores the factors influencing the development of insulin resistance. This study further describe the correlation between folate levels and the tendency to develop insulin resistance in patients with TDM, insulin resistance was significantly elevated below the serum FA threshold of . ng/mL. Therefore, our results suggest that monitoring folate levels and supplementation of FA in type diabetic patients is warranted.

Introduction:
A recent epidemiological study shows that approximately % of the adults worldwide have diabetes, of whom % have type diabetes mellitus (TDM), and Asia is an important locus of the so-called TDM epidemic. Risk factors driving the prevalence of TDM mainly include obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy dietary patterns such as long-term consumption of high-calorie foods. Folic acid (FA), an essential nutrient, has been linked to the risk of type diabetes in several previous studies. At present, the…
