Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Status in Male and Female Patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Background: Free radicals are reactive oxygen species which cause lipid peroxidation precipitating many metabolic diseases including Diabetes Mellitus. However, these free radicals are quenched by substances known as antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E and several other compounds. Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status were investigated in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes mellitus-Pokhara, Nepal. Methods:The extent of lipid peroxidation was assessed by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and … Show more

“…Extravascular mechanisms of RBC destruction may involve changes in cell deformability and antigenicity. Our observation of increased malondialdehyde levels is agreement with the literature reports and to decrease the membrane fluidity, deformability, visco-elasticity and life span of erythrocytes in the obese subjects, [18][19][20][21] which might be responsible for the initiation of complications such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia etc. in obese subjects later on in the north western Indian population.…”

“…Diabetics exhibited higher serum peroxidation levels expressed as malondialdehyde (MDA) before falciparum malaria. This baseline observation supports numerous reports and confirms the central role of oxidative stress in diabetes pathogenesis [ 24 , 25 ]. Indeed, the hyperglycaemia, which is a characteristic feature of diabetes, activates several biochemical pathways that ultimately give rise to products that cause oxidative stress.…”

“…16 In general, the overall effect of lipid peroxidation is to decrease membrane fluidity, deformability, visco elasticity. 17 Oxidative stress also causes, conformation changes in membrane cytoskeleton protein which alters fluidity of the membrane, erythrocyte shape, size and osmotic fragility. 18 The level of nervonic acid (a fatty acid normally present only in sphingomyelins-rigidifying agent of the cell membrane) was significantly higher in the obese group.…”
