Glycaemia , antioxidant activity , fibrinogen , BMI and cholesterol in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Antioxidant activity, plasma fibrinogen, cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. These factors are assessed in diabetic patients. Study group consisted of 39 controls and 34 diabetics. Plasma levels of antioxidant activity, fibrinogen, cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were estimated. Plasma antioxidant activity is decreased in diabetics compared to control group. Plasma fibrinogen, BMI, cholesterol and LDL cholesterol is higher in diabetics when compared to the control group. There was a negative correlation between antioxidant activity and the glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c). There was a significant positive correlation between glycated haemoglobin and plasma fibrinogen. These observations point towards increased risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetics when compared to control group. © 2012 International Journal of A J Institute of Medical Sciences.
