Is a relationship between serum ferritin and the insulin resistance syndrome present in non-diabetic women but not in non-diabetic men?
We observed that a relationship between serum ferritin levels and insulin resistance exists in women but not in men. This sexual dimorphism merits further investigation.
A clear association was demonstrated between VEGF SNPs and severity of diabetic retinopathy. Furthermore, two of the htSNP haplotypes appear to be more generalized markers for angiogenesis, in that these have been found in prior work to be associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
