Changes in High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol after Initiation of Insulin Therapy in Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus: Relationship to Changes in Body Weight

To determine the interrelationships of serum lipoproteins and body weight changes with insulin therapy, 55 diabetics (mean age 52.0±2.2years), had measurements of body weight, sum of skinfold thickness, fasting serum glucose, serum high density (HDL-C) and low density (LDL-C) lipoprotein cholesterol...

Description
Summary:To determine the interrelationships of serum lipoproteins and body weight changes with insulin therapy, 55 diabetics (mean age 52.0±2.2years), had measurements of body weight, sum of skinfold thickness, fasting serum glucose, serum high density (HDL-C) and low density (LDL-C) lipoprotein cholesterol and serum triglycerides before and 6weeks after beginning insulin. At entry HDL-C had a significant (p
