Significance and clinical usefulness of low density lipoprotein electrophoretic mobility for the evaluation of nonenzymatic glycosylation.
We evaluated low density lipoprotein (LDL) electrophoretic mobility (EM) as an index of nonenzymatic glycosylation in 88 insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Among well-controlled diabetics, 36% had increased EM and among poorly controlled patients, 63% had increased EM. This incidence difference was found to be statistically significant by the X2 test. EM can be used as a sufficiently reliable index of LDL nonenzymatic glycosylation.
