[The abnormal changes of apolipoprotein(s) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the changes of the apolipoproteins(apoA I, A II, B100, C II, C III, E) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.


METHODS
The levels of fasting plasma glucose(FBG), insulin, TG, TC, apoA I, A II, B100, C II, C III, E were all measured in 127 non-diabetic subjects and 143 type 2 diabetic patients (20 associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and 66 associated with hypertriglyceridemia(HTG), 55 associated with hypercholesterolemia).


RESULTS
In male type 2 diabetic patients, the levels of FBG, WHR and apoC II were significantly higher (P < 0.05) and apoA I, A II levels were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than those in male non-diabetic subjects. In female type 2 diabetic patients, the levels of FBG, BMI, WHR, TG significantly elevated while HDL-C, apoA I, A II levels significantly decreased as compared with those in female non-diabetic subjects. In type 2 diabetic group, the levels of WHR, FBG and TG in HTG patients were elevated significantly as compared with those without HTG, and the levels of HDL-C, apoA I and apoA II were decreased; the levels of WHR, TG, TC, apoB100, C II, C III, E in patients with HTC were significantly higher than those whose cholesterol levels were normal. In patients with CHD, the levels of fasting insulin, apoB100, apoC II and apoE were significantly higher than those in patients without CHD, and the levels of HDL-C and apoA II were decreased significantly.


CONCLUSIONS
Abnormal changes of apo(s) in type 2 diabetes mellitus may be a cause of type 2 diabetes associated with HTG and CHD.
