ANTIOXIDANT STATUS IN CORONARY HEART DISEASE (CHD) PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Abstract
Background: The present study was carried out to see the levels of vitamin C, vitamin E and totalantioxidant (AO) in Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) patients with and without Type-2 DiabetesMellitus (T2DM). In various previous studies it has been reported that, diabetes, hypertension andsmoking are risk factors for CHD and all risk factors were common in these patients. Methods:Serum was tested from 80 CHD patients and 21 healthy controls, matched for age, height, andweight. Results: No significant difference was seen between the age, height and weight of thesubjects and controls. CHD patients were mostly male, smokers, over 40 year of age and belongingupper class families. The mean plasma glucose was significantly higher (p<0.05) in CHD patientshaving T2DM as compare to CHD patient with out T2DM. Risk factors for CHD, like diabetes,hypertension and smoking were common in these patients. No significant difference was seen invitamin C level of patients of CHD. Vitamin E level was significantly (p<0.05) low among the CHDpatients as compared to controls and a significant (p<0.05) decrease in mean vitamin E level wasobserved among smoker CHD patients as compared to non-smoker CHD patients. But no significantdifference in vitamin C and vitamin E levels of CHD patients with diabetes and hypertension wereobserved when compared with CHD patients having no such complaints. The CHD patients’ totalantioxidant level was significantly (p<0.05) decreased as compared to controls. Conclusion: Thetotal AO (Vit. C and E) were not significantly higher in CHD patients with hypertension and diabetesas compared to those patients of CHD having no hypertension and diabetes.Keywords: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD).
