Recent evidence indicates the association of circulating LBP levels with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between serum LBP levels and arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes %K Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein %K Arterial stiffness %K Pulse wave velocity %K Type 2 diabetes %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5424398/
