Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The stable fractions of glycated hemoglobin (Hb), particularly HbA(1c), and glycated albumin (GA) were measured to monitor chronic glycemic control. Haptoglobin (Hp) is a Hb-binding protein, which plays a major role in preventing free Hb-induced tissue oxidative damage. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationships of serum Hp concentration with HbA(1c) and GA concentrations. METHODS: A...
