Estimation of Omentin-1 and some biochemical parameters in Iraqi patients with Myocardial infarction

Abstract

Background Omentin-1 is a novel adipokine found in visceral adipose tissue that plays a significant role in the progression of chronic inflammatory diseases such as coronary artery disease. Methods We enrolled 50 patients with MI and 40 healthy controls. We measure serum omentin-1, high sensitive cardiac Troponin-T (hs-cTnT), creatine phospho kinase-MB (CPK-MB), as well as other parameters. Results: Serum omentin-1 levels were significantly decreased in MI patients compared to controls (16.14 vs 37.93) ng/mL. There was a significant increase in serum levels of hs-cTnT (pg/mL) and CPK-MB(IU/L) in MI patients than in control group (1406 vs 3.143) (107.9 vs 11.46). Conclusions Serum omentin-1 levels were significantly decreased in MI patient compared to controls.
