Abstract Type disse of the major chemicies during the levels of glycinated haming 13. opensand the major group of polyunsaturated fare wolds with 20 non died in 10 compared cidation end protic children. Mateodiaidhyde Jipid peroxidation end product was also assayed Results: In the present work, the parent essential fatty acid, Jenoleic acid (LA) was found to be higher in the type 1 diabetic patients than in non diabetic controls. However, values of the jong chain holenie sacinated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) namely Jomomo-y-linolenic acid C20:306 (DHGLA) and arachidonic acid C20:5006 (AA) from omega 6 series as well as docosapentaenoic acid C22:503 (DPA) and docosahexaenoic acid C22:603 (DHA) from omega 3 series in diabetic children were found to be significantly lower than non diabetics This pattern of plasma PUFAs is compatible with a redues conversion rate of the essential fatty acids (EFAs) to their respective longer chain metabolites in type 1 diabetic children. As regards lipoprotein pattern, quantitative abnormalities could be found except triglycerides levels. A positive correlation was found between HbA1 and each of cholesterol, LDL-C, LDL- CHDL-C and a negative correlation was encountered between HbA1 and HDL-C/cholesterol. |
