Betatrophin as a Beta Cell Stimulator?

[Northerner]

Thirty-three human patients with T1DM and twenty-four healthy controls were recruited. Fasting blood samples were taken and betatrophin levels were analyzed by an ELISA. C-peptide levels were also taken, and in patients with undetectable C-peptide, an ultrasensitive C-peptide ELISA was used. To compare differences between the diabetic participants and the healthy controls, an unpaired two-tailed t test was used. Any correlations were found by using linear regression.
