Evaluation of serum lipoprotein ratios in impaired glucose tolerance patients and a comparison study with euglycemic control
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: It is well known that both diabetes and dyslipedemia are potent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and both conditions are correlated strongly. In the current study we have analysed TG/HDL ratio and TC/HDL ratio to evaluate the dyslipidemic status in impaired glucose tolerance patients and a comparative study with the control for the same. Methods: We have studied two groups for comparison which include normoglycemic control group and impaired glucose tolerance group of sample size 67 and 44 respectively. Student t-test is used for comparison study and P value <0.05 considered as significant. Results: It is found that the serum lipoprotein ratios TG/HDL is increased significantly in impaired glucose tolerance group compared to control with P value <0.05 and TC/HDL ratio is not significantly altered between the groups. Conclusion: Our study found that the serum lipoprotein ratio (TG/HDL) is elevated in conditions of impaired glucose tolerance suggesting a link between hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia.
