Characterization of Low Density Lipoprotein Subfraction\ud Profile and Apo E Genotype Among Diabetic Patients

Diabetes mellitus ialah penyakit metabolik yang bercirikan hiperglisemia dan dislipidemia, yang memberi\ud pesakit diabetes risiko tinggi untuk mendapat penyakit jantung. Adalah dipercayai bahawa LDL kolesterol\ud (LDLC), trigliserida (TG) dan genotip apolipoprotein E (apo E) berkait rapat dalam menentukan risiko tinggi\ud ini.\ud \ud Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia and dyslipidaemia, which\ud places diabetics at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. We strongly believed that LDL cholesterol (LDLC),\ud triglycerides (TG) and apolipoprotein E (apo E) genotype are closely related in determining this high risk
