Circulating oxidised low-density lipoprotein and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

Description

In the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, elevated plasma levels of oxidized LDL and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule–1 (sICAM-1) were associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk. After adjusting for fasting glucose, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, and C-reactive protein, sICAM-1 remained an independent predictor of incident diabetes.
