Glucagon: a potential protective factor against peripheral nerve compromise in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity by Hao Hua, Rui Wang, Yu-xian Xu, Feng Xu, Chun-hua Wang, Li-hua Zhao, Li-hua Wang, Cheng-wei Duan, Jian-bin Su

“…In contrast, the T2D/non-OB group did not exhibit obvious correlations between the AUCgla and the overall composite Z-scores for latency (r = –0.088, p = 0.056), amplitude (r = 0.054, p = 0.251), and NCV (r = 0.116, p = 0.012). Furthermore, multivariate linear regression analyses indicated that elevated AUCgla was independently associated with a lower overall composite Z-score for latency (β = –0.304, t = –3.391, p = 0.001), as well as higher overall composite Z-scores for amplitude (β = 0.256, t = 2.630, p = 0.010) and NCV (β = 0.286, t = 3.503, p = 0.001), after adjusting for other clinical covariates within the T2D/OB group. …”
