Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is not only important in beta-cell function but also has proinflammatory actions. We aimed to investigate whether it could act as a link between low-grade chronic inflammation and diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Using a case-cohort design, we followed 546 middle-aged individuals who developed diabetes and 538 who did not over approximately 9 years within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

RESULTS: In weighted analyses, the correlation between DPP-IV levels and anthropometric, inflammatory, or metabolic variables was minimal (Spearman correlations

CONCLUSIONS: Fasting DPP-IV levels do not appear to predict incident diabetes.
