It has been reported that in diabetic individuals plasma lipid peroxide levels were increased and this increase was more pronounced in diabetics with retinopathy (Sato, Hotta, Sakamoto, Matsuoka, Ohishi and Yagi 1979). Further, this increase has been shown to take place in the high density lipoprotein (HDL) fraction of the serum (Nishigaki, Hagihara, Tsunekawa, Maseki and Yagi 1981).
