Effect of elevated iron stores on lipid profile in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction Diabetes Mellitus DM comprises a group of metabolic disorders presenting with hyperglycemia resulting from insulin deficiency or decreased glucose utilization and increased glucose production Ferritin is a globular protein which is an index for iron stores present in the body Many research studies have found relationship between elevated ferritin levels iron stores and the development of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome The present study was done to establish relationship between type 2 diabetes and ferritin levels and to see the effect of elevated iron stores on lipid profile ie total cholesterol triglycerides HDL High density lipoprotein and LDL low density lipoproteinMaterials and Methods 50 cases patients of type 2 diabetes and 50 apparently healthy subjects were selected and compared with each other Serum ferritin lipid profile ie total cholesterol triglycerides HDL and LDL were measured from serum at clinical biochemistry sectionResults Serum ferritin was high p Conclusion Study shows elevated ferritin level was found in the patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus Elevated iron stores are also associated with Total Cholesterol and Triglycerides Keywords Type 2 diabetes mellitus Elevated iron stores Ferritin Lipid profile

To study an alteration in biochemical parameters in acute and chronic phase of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis
Introduction: The primary abnormality in respiratory acidosis is retention of CO2 (increased H2CO3) due to impaired alveolar ventilation resulting in a rise in pCO2 causing acidemia. However, respiratory alkalosis occurs...
