[Dyslipoproteinemia, oxygen-transport system of blood and oxygen balance in the tissues at early stages of diabetes mellitus].

The nature of the blood serum lipoprotein spectrum, blood oxygen transport function and tissue oxygenation were studied in 89 patients with early forms of diabetes mellitus and in 20 healthy persons. A higher level of pre-beta-lipoproteins and beta-lipoproteins was revealed; a lowered level of alpha-lipoproteins was determined above all by triglycerinemia. Hyperlipoproteinemia even at early stages of diabetes mellitus is capable of causing diverse changes in the blood oxygen transport system.
