Biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Article Abstract:
Endothelial dysfunction predicts type 2 diabetes in women independent of other known risk factors, including obesity and subclinical inflammation. Patients with type 2 diabetes have elevated plasma levels of biomarkers reflecting endothelial dysfunction, but whether these abnormalities exist prior to the development of diabetes is not known.

Body iron stores in relation to risk of type 2 diabetes in apparently healthy women
Article Abstract:
The plasma ferritin concentration and the ratio of the concentration of transferrin receptors to ferritin in relation to risk of type 2 diabetes is investigated. The higher iron store reflects an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in healthy women independent of known diabetes risk factors.
