title: [Content and dynamics of sulfhydryl compounds in the blood during treatment of diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The results of the study of the level of sulfhydryl groups in the whole blood and serum of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus are presented. A total of 170 patients with diabetes mellitus aged from 16 to 70 years were investigated. A severe form of the disease was revealed in 31.2% of the patients, moderately severe in 50.0%, and a mild form--in 18.8%. A significant sulfhydryl groups deficiency (P less than 0.005) was displayed by diabetic patients. The lowest content was found in patients with a severe form of the disease and with ketoacidosis. The existing methods of diabetics treatment failed to completely restore the level of sulfhydril groups. Other additional therapeutic methods are necessary for complete compensation.
