Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is worldwide disease, the levels of lipids are too affected in a patient with diabetes mellitus due to a variety of factors, one of them carbohydrate metabolism. This investigation evaluated liptin as an indicator to the levels of the lipids in people with DM. The study included a total of 90 patients divided into 30 healthy controls (Group 1), 30 DM type 2 patients (Group 2) as well as 30 DM with atherosclerosis (Group 3). The high value where observed by ELISA and spectrophotometer in DM patients (Group 2) compared to the controls (Group 1) (54.68±9.67 vs. 42.18±4.38), furthermore, group 2 value is also greater than the value in (Group 3) (54.68±9.67 vs. 25.69±2.61). However additional research involving more patients is necessary to establish which marker's precise functionally as an indicator.
