ABSTRACT
This study was done on sixteen [16] non insulin dependent diabetics without atherosclerosis and sixteen [16] noninsulin dependent diabetics with atherosclerosis in addition to sixteen [16] normal controls. In this study we found that: [A] NIDD patients without atherosclerosis compared to controls. Serum chromium and APOAl showed non-significant change. Total cholesterol showed a significant increase. HDL-cholesterol showed a significant decrease. B. NIDD patients with atherosclerosis as compared to controls. - Serum chromium and HDL-cho1esterol showed a significant decrease. - APO A -l showed non-significant change. - Total cholesterol showed a significant increase. C. NIDD patients with atherosclerosis as compared to those without atherosclerosis. - Serum chromium and APO Al showed non-significant change. - Total cholesterol showed a significant increase - HDL-cholesterol showed a significant decrease
