Dr. SK. Deepthi*, Dr. J. N. Naidu, Dr. G. Amar Raghu Narayan
ABSTRACT
Patients with type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are more prone to ischemic heart disease (IHD). Free radical damage is mostly responsible for causing all complications in diabetic patients. Conflicting reports are available regarding the antioxidant status in patients of NIDDM complicated with IHD. This study was undertaken to investigate the oxidative status in patients of NIDDM and to assess their relation with plasma glucose, catalase and paraoxanase activity.
Keywords: type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), paraoxanase1I (PON1) , catalase (CAT)
