About this trial

Diabetic polyneuropathy is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with sensory impairment and functional disability. Irisin is a myokine that has been implicated in glucose metabolism and neuroprotection. This prospective observational case-control study aims to evaluate serum irisin concentrations in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy compared with diabetic patients without neuropathy and healthy controls, and to investigate whether serum irisin may serve as a biomarker for diabetic polyneuropathy.
