The levels of intraeythrocytic glutathion and its related factors in IGT and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the antioxidant status in IGT and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, we detected the levels of serum Vitamin E(Vit E), vitamin C(Vit C) and intraerythrocytic glutathion(GSH).Methods:The levels of serum Vit E, Vit C and intraerythrocytic GSH were measured in 32 IGT and 41 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, and the associated factors with GSH/GSSG (oxidized glutathione) were evaluated.Results:Significant decrease of serum Vit C intraerythrocytic GSH and GSH/GSSG were noted in IGT and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. There were negative correlation between GSH/GSSG and blood glucose, triglyceride, HbA_(1c) in IGT and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.Conclusion:The results showed that antioxidant defenses are decreased in IGT and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. To improve the metabolism of blood glucose and triglyceride may have some beneficial effects on antioxidant defenses in IGT and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.
