A Comparative Study of Small Dense low Density Lipoprotein levels in the Healthy and Diabetic Adult Individuals
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
The present study was carried out to identify the differences between small dense LDL levels in apparently healthy individuals and diabetic adults. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in male and female subjects (n =200) aged between 49-60 years who are not on any lipid lowering drugs. The estimation of small dense LDL levels was done by sd LDL methodology. Results and Discussion: In this study we found that there is an increase in small dense LDL levels in diabetic cases than in normal healthy adult individuals. Conclusion: Diabetes is closely associated with small dense LDL, an atherogenic particle. It should be considered as an independent, potential risk factor and as a diagnostic biomarker to be used in conjunction with other biochemical markers for early diagnosis, assessment and follow up of diabetic complications.
