Abstract:
Across- sectional study conducted during the period from
February 2011-june2011, compared the plasma level of total
cholesterol,
triglyceride,
high
density
and
low
density
lipoproteins and HbA1c of 52 patient.
With type 2 diabetes mellitus ( 28 male and 24 female)
with 28 control group . participant in this study were from
Jabber Abu Alaz center in Khartoum state male and female
were matching in term of age the plasma levels of cholesterol ,
triglycerides , high density and low density lipoproteins were
measured using BTS 305 spectrophotometer and commercial
Kits from biosystem Company.
The mean of plasma cholesterol was significantly raised in
diabetic patient compared to control group (p=0.000) and also
raised in female compared to male ( 0.378 )
The mean of plasma triglycerides was significantly raised
in diabetic patient compared to control group (p=0.000) and also
raised in female compared to male .
The mean of plasma high density lipoproteins was
significantly raised in diabetic patient compared to control group
(p=0.001) and while there was no significant differences
between the male and female (p=0.536 ) .
The mean of plasma low density lipoproteins
was
significantly decrease in diabetic patient compared to control
group (p=0.031) and also there was decrease between the male
and female
From the result of this study it is concluded that :
Diabetes mellitus increase the plasma levels of total cholesterol
and low density lipoproteins more adversely in females
compared to males and also in diabetic group increase risk of
cardiovascular disease compared to healthy group .
