title: Redox changes in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The present work evaluates some aspects of the redox potential in individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The plasma lipid peroxides level and the concentration of glutathione (GSH) were measured. The data obtained revealed a rise in lipoperoxides concentration and a decrease in GSH content suggesting that oxygen derived free radicals may play a role in the pathogenesis of IDDM.
