| Core Tip |
Hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) generates free radicals which reduce antioxidant enzyme activities leading to oxidative stress. The influence of glycemic control on enhanced free-radical activity is poorly understood and no study has been conducted in Buea Health District. This hospital-based case-control study evaluated levels of malondialdehyde and catalase in patients with T2DM with different glycemic status and compared them with healthy subjects. We found a higher prevalence of lipid peroxidation and a higher proportion of reduced serum antioxidant activity in patients with T2DM with poor glycemic control. Routine assessment of lipid peroxidation markers and antioxidant enzyme activities in patients with T2DM especially those with poor glycemic control is recommended in improving patient care and mitigating complications. |
