Abstract
Design and method: This study was conducted on the relationship between plasma lipid peroxides, ascorbic acid levels and diabetes mellitus. Forty two diabetic patients (24 males and 18 females) age grouped between 40 - 60 years were studied in the diabetic clinic of Federal Medical Centre Owerri. Controls were patients who had normal fasting blood sugar levels. Results: This study revealed a significant increase in plasma lipid peroxidase levels ( using) malondialdehyde-MDA- as marker for lipid perioxidation) in diabetic patients ( 6.27±0.52nmol MDA/ml) when compared to the plasma lipid peroxide level in control group (4.98±0.52) nmol MDA/ml) at P
