Association of plasma levels of Sestrin2 with adiposity and metabolic function indices in healthy and diabetic subjects from Qatar Biobank by Muhammad Ammar Zahid, Shahenda Salah Abdelsalam, Hicham Raïq, Hanan H. Abunada, Aijaz Parray, Abdelali Agouni

“…Conversely, in the diabetic cohort, higher Sestrin2 levels were paradoxically linked to increased triglycerides (OR: 1.57), the product of triglyceride glucose and waist circumference (OR: 1.8), body fat (OR: 1.72), waist circumference (OR: 1.82), waist-to-hip ratio (OR: 1.96) and metabolic syndrome (OR: 1.48).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that Sestrin2 may play a complex and context-dependent role in metabolic regulation, potentially serving as a protective factor in healthy individuals but contributing to metabolic dysfunction in the context of established diabetes. …”
