Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the activity of δ-Aminolevulinate dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) and its possible relationship with oxidative status, lipid profile, body mass index (BMI) in type 2 diabetics (DM2) patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: δ-ALA-D activity and reactivation index, as well as markers of oxidative stress and biochemical and anthropometrics parameters were determined in DM2 patients (n = 63) and controls (n = 63). RESULTS: There was a decreased δ-ALA-D activity and a higher reactivation index (p<0.05) in DM2 patients besides an elevated level of oxidative stress. Disturbances on lipid profile were related to the enzymatic activity and BMI also was correlated with oxidative level in DM2 patients (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: There is an association between oxidative stress, abnormalities on lipid profile, distribution of body fat and δ-ALA-D activity inhibition as well as the enzyme is more oxidized in the DM2 suggesting that it would be a good biomarker for assessing prejudice in chronic metabolic processes.
