Correlation between Erythrocyte Membrane Na+K+ATPase and Plasma Homocysteine Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Patient

Diabetes Mellitus is the most common of the serious metabolic diseases. It is characterized by metabolic abnormalities; by long-term complication. Correlation between erythrocyte membrane Na+K+ATPase and plasma homocysteine levels in patient. This study was conducted in 29 patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus and 15 healthy controls. Erythrocyte membrane Na+K+ATPase activity and malondialdehyde were measured spectrophotometrically. Plasma homocysteine levels were measured with High Performance Liquid Chromatography method. When compared to the control group, mean plasma homocysteine levels were found to be increased (p
