Reduced serum milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) concentrations are associated with an increased risk of microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes

Serum concentrations of MFG-E8 were negatively associated with the risk of microvascular complications in patients with T2DM. Thus, it might be a potential candidate biomarker for diabetic microvascular complications.
