Abstract

Introduction: As we know endothelial dysfunction is an initial stage of vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Hypoglycaemic drugs have shown a beneficial effect on endothelial function. Insulin is a regulator hormone for endothelial function in vessels. But, there was a controversial report on the effect of exogenous insulin on endothelial function in type 2 diabetes subjects. Aim and objectives: The study has been designed to observe the effect of insulin therapy on endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetic subjects without any complications. Materials and methods: This Study include 120 Subjects (60-Diabetics and 60-Healthy Controls). MDA was manually estimated by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method and anti-oxidant capacity was estimated as FRAP.19 NO was measured by using kinetic cadmium reduction method. Result: Significantly high level of body mass index (BMI) was identified in insulin-treated subjects than subjects with hypoglycemic drugs and healthy controls. Nitric oxide (NO) has shown significantly lower in insulin-treated subjects compared to subjects with hypoglycemic drugs and healthy controls. There was no sign in the levels of lipid profile and oxidative stress in between two treatment groups. Conclusion: Significant effect of insulin therapy was observed on endothelial dysfunction in type 2 DM. Exogenous insulin itself may cause endothelial dysfunction by hyperinsulinemia because of a high-fat diet or high dosage of insulin.
