[Pattern of plasma lipids and insulin blood levels in male patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and moderate obesity].
The goal of the present work is the study of the plasmatic lipid profile in non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients with abdominal obesity (AO), comparing them the NIDDM patients without AO and with OA persons without NIDDM. For that purpose we developed a methodology in which we have studied the body mass index (BMI: kg/m2) the hip-waist index (HWI) (0.95 = AO), lipid parameters, hydrocarbon, titers and serum insulin levels. The results are referred to four groups where we can throw into relief a statistically significant increase in triglycerides and a marked decrease in HDL cholesterol in OA and DM patients when compared to the group with AO without MD or to the group with MD without AO. Based on the results obtained the conclusions can be summarized as follows: The presence of abdominal obesity is a factor that favors the appearance of high levels of serum triglycerides and low levels of HDL-cholesterol in NIDDM. On the other hand, DM is a factor that increases the levels of triglycerides with low levels of HDL-cholesterol which already exist in AO.
