Abstract

Lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels have been determined innormal and diabetes. The abnormalities of lipoprotein were investigated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the serum and the 3 major lipoprotein classes for diabetes. HDL cholesterol levels were lower in the diabetes compared to the normals. VLDL triglyceride levels also elevated in the diabetes. There were significant shifts in the distribution of lipoprotein cholesterol, with an increase in LDL cholesterol and decrease in HDL cholesterol. The results of this study suggest that diabetes may be associated with changes in both lipoprotein triglyceride and cholesterol levels. The electrohoretic patterns of VLDL and HDL in diabetes showed the abnormal pattern in comparison to normal.
