Research Scope Questions

Why only girls? Why not boys?

Our research now includes both adolescent boys and girls. This page presents data specifically for adolescent boys alongside our ongoing adult diabetes research.

Why not adult diabetic patients?

We are actively researching adult diabetic patients with specific parameters including C-peptide, neuropathy, uric acid, homocysteine, and renal markers.

Body Composition Differences

Why only girls? Why not boys?

Is there any difference in adolescent boys and girls body composition?

Yes, significant differences exist in body composition between adolescent boys and girls:

Boys typically have higher muscle mass and lower body fat percentage
Girls generally have higher essential body fat for reproductive development
Bone density patterns differ during puberty
These differences impact metabolic profiles and diabetes risk factors

Our research is examining these differences to develop gender-specific prevention strategies.

Adolescent Boys (n=94)

Research Parameters

Anthropometric measurements – Height, weight, BMI
Body composition – Fat mass, muscle mass, bone density
Glucose metabolism – Fasting glucose, insulin sensitivity

Adult Diabetic Patients

Research Parameters

C-peptide

Measuring endogenous insulin production to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Peripheral Neuropathy

Assessing nerve damage prevalence and severity in diabetic patients

Uric Acid in T2DM Patients

Investigating the relationship between hyperuricemia and diabetes complications

Homocysteine in Stroke Patients

Evaluating homocysteine as a risk factor for stroke in diabetic patients

Early Renal Markers in T2DM

Identifying sensitive biomarkers for early detection of diabetic nephropathy

Research Focus

Our adult research focuses on early detection and prevention of diabetes complications through specialized biomarkers and clinical assessments.
