Correlation between abnormal serum detection indicators of intestinal barrier function with metabolic diseases
Objective To explore the correlation between serum detection indicators abnormality of in-testinal barrier function with metabolic diseases.Methods A total of 26 838 individuals undergoing serum de-tection of intestinal barrier function in the physical examination center of this hospital from January 2020 to August 2023 were selected as the study subjects and grouped based on whether D-lactic acid(DLC),bacterial endotoxin(BT)and diamine oxidase(DAO)were abnormal.Their clinical data of the patients with abnormal DLC,BT and DAO were collected,including the body weight,blood pressure[systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)],fasting blood glucose(GLU),pulse rate,total bilirubin(TBIL),direct bilirubin(DBIL),indirect bilirubin(IBIL),total protein(TP),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and human plasma protein phospholipase(Lp-PLA2),etc.;the incidence rate of fat-ty liver in the subjects with abnormal DLC,BT and DAO was statistically analyzed,and the correlation be-tween abnormal DLC,BT and DAO with the fatty liver occurrence was analyzed.Results Among the 26 838 individuals undergoing physical examination,there were 544 cases(2.03%)of abnormal DLC,927 cases(3.45%)of abnormal BT and 649 cases(2.42%)of abnormal DAO.In the populations with abnormal DLC,BT and DAO,the detection rate in the male patients was significantly higher than that in the females,moreo-ver which were often accompanied by obesity,increased blood pressure and elevated blood sugar.68.08%of the patients with abnormal BT had high SBP,51.02%of the patients had high DBP,and 40.72%of the pa-tients had high GLU.99.58%of patients with abnormal DLC had abnormal IBIL.The population with abnor-mal serum DLC,BT and DAO had the high incidence rate of fatty liver,which were 43.57%,44.77%and 38.83%,respectively.The Spearman's rank correlation analysis showed that the DLC,BT and DAO levels were correlated with the occurrence of fatty liver(P<0.05).Conclusion The DLC,BT and DAO levels could early warn hypertension,diabetes and liver function damage caused by metabolic disorders,and predict the risk of fatty liver occurrence.
