[Plasma lipid fractions in insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Effects of short-term control of glycaemia (author's transl)]. 1981

B Vialettes, and G Cartouzou, and J L Berge-Lefranc, and J P Moulin, and P Vague

In order to elicitate a possible influence of short-term control of glycaemia on circulating plasma lipid fractions, the authors have endeavoured to find out: (a) whether there was a correlation between these fractions and glycosyl-haemoglobin (Hb A1) which indicates previous glycaemic balance, and (b) whether the various lipid fractions were modified by absolute control of glycaemia during a 24-hour application of artificial pancreas. They found that HbA1 correlated positively with total cholesterol and VLDL + LDL cholesterol, but not with HDL cholesterol. After 24 hours on artificial pancreas there was a significant decrease in total blood cholesterol without changes in blood triglycerides. The decrease was homogenous and concerned cholesterol concentrations in both low and high density lipoproteins. The authors conclude that the increased risk of atherosclerosis in insulin-dependent patients is in-related to a decrease in HDL cholesterol.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
