Fasting lipid profile, liver & renal function tests of the study subjects
| Lipid profile by automated analyser or ELISA method. All other tests by ELISA | cases and control | p-value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| diabetes | healthy controls | ||||
| Mean | Standard Deviation | Mean | Standard Deviation | ||
| total cholesterol (mg/dl) | 171 | 35 | 185 | 42 | 0.84 |
| LDL (mg/dl) | 107 | 30 | 120 | 27 | 0.08 |
| HDL (mg/dl) | 41 | 10 | 41 | 10 | NS |
| Total triglyceride (mg/dl) | 151 | 50 | 143 | 49 | 0.65 |
| Total bilirubin (mg/dl) | 1.0 | .4 | .9 | .1 | 0.4 |
| SGOT (U/L) | 41 | 16 | 34 | 20 | 0.029 |
| SGPT (U/L) | 36 | 14 | 31 | 11 | 0.20 |
| S. Albumin (U/L) | 4.5 | .7 | 4.7 | .4 | 0.069 |
| S.Globulin (U/L) | 3.3 | .6 | 3.0 | .0 | 0.07 |
| Alkaline phosphatase | 163 | 62 | 103 | 67 | ,0.01 |
| S.creatinine (mg/dl) | .9 | .1 | .9 | .1 | NS |
| 25 (OH) vitamin D | 18.4 | 7.4 | 23 | 12.3 | 0.021 |
t-test was done for parametric variables (Total Cholesterol, LDL,HDL,Triglycerides, alkaline phosphatase)
Mann-Whitney test was done for non-parametric variables (Bilirubin, SGOT<SGPT,Albumin, Globulin,creatinine, 25(OH)vitamin D)
Diabetic subjects have higher mean Alkaline phosphatase (ALP),Serum Glutamate oxaloacetate transferase (SGOT), Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transferase (SGPT) and lower 25(OH) vitamin D, but better mean lipid parameters as compared to controls
