Abstract
Objective: To determine the serum Asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA)
level, association of various biochemical parameters with plasma ADMA level
in type 2 diabetic patients and also to compare with normal healthy individ -uals.
Methodology: Analytical cross sectional study was conducted at Medical and
Cardiology Departments of Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) and Hayatabad
Medical Complex (HMC), Peshawar for a period of one year. A total of 140
participants with age range of 35-65 years, were divided into two groups.
Blood was obtained from each participant for biochemical analysis. All data
obtained was entered in SPSS version 15. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered
as statistically significant.
Results: An elevated ADMA was noted group B. In group A significant posi -tive correlation was observed between serum ADMA with TC and TG level and
a non-significant correlation was observed between ADMA and HDL level.
In case of group B a significant strong positive linear relationship was seen
between ADMA level and different parameters like FBG, HbA1c, LDL and no
significant correlation was seen between ADMA with TG and TC.
Conclusion: Our study reveals increased serum ADMA levels in the patients
suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus without CAD when compared with the
control group. Also a significant positive correlation was seen between serum
ADMA level and FBS, HbA1c, TC, HDL-C and TG levels among the subjects of
group B.
