Study of a Selection of Biochemical Parameters for Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Iraqi Baghdad Hospitals

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia caused by full or partial insulin insufficiency. This study examines type 2 diabetics' lipid profile, malondialdehyde levels, antioxidant levels, and electrolyte levels.
Methods: The levels of glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, malondialdehyde (MDA), ceruloplasmin, uric acid, sodium, potassium, and chloride in the serum of 75 patients with type II diabetes mellitus and 25 healthy volunteers were measured.
Blood glucose levels, total cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, very low-density lipoprotein levels, low-density lipoprotein levels, malondialdehyde levels, ceruloplasmin levels, and sodium, potassium, and chloride levels are all higher in people with type II diabetes compared to healthy controls. Type II diabetics exhibited lower HDL and uric acid levels than healthy controls. In this study, low HDL and high triglyceride values indicated typical diabetic dyslipidaemia. MDA levels may indicate oxidative stress. Increased oxidative stress may cause humans to consume more ceruloplasmin. Diabetes type II reduces blood uric acid levels. This study suggests that disturbed glucose homeostasis and electrolyte imbalance are related to higher sodium and potassium chloride levels.
