Dyslipidemia and ANGPTL8 evaluation in young females with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

ANGPTL8 levels were found to be elevated in Saudi young women who were diagnosed with TIDM. ANGPTL8 may potentially contribute to dyslipidemia in individuals with T1DM, hence increasing the susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, ANGPTL8 has the potential to impact lipid metabolism, namely Triglycerides, as a biological route. The results highlight the need to analyze lipid profiles and do ANGPTL8 testing in young females diagnosed with T1DM at an early stage to prevent complications.
