[Plasma levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, non-esterified fatty acids and uric acid, during oral glucose load, in subjects with type II diabetes and diminished glucose tolerance].

In order to study triglycerides, cholesterol, FFA and uric acid plasma levels after OGTT, 10 type II diabetics, 8 IGT subjects, 10 controls were studied. A progressive decrease of FFA plasma values in all groups is shown; there is also an increase in triglycerides vs. basal values in all groups, at 240'. In diabetics and IGT groups there are higher cholesterol levels than controls; IGT subjects have the highest uric acid levels, which in all groups decrease at 180' and 240'. We conclude triglycerides, FAA, uric acid are modified, cholesterol levels are unaffected by glucose oral load in all groups.
