Grado de oxidación en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2

Abstract

determined by colorimetric method. enzymatic, as well as the concentration of 4-hydroxynonenal was determined as a marker of oxidative stress. Results: e values of 4-hydroxynonenal in the control population ranged between 2.61 and 6.83 µmol/L and in diabetics 28.99 and 73.74 µmol/L., finding statistically significant differences between both populations, as well as in the lipid profile and glycemia between both groups. Conclusion: e results show an elevation of lipid peroxidation in diabetic patients, which is indicative of oxidative stress and additional risk in these patients that could lead to chronic complications of type 2 diabetes.
