Abstract
Three groups of patients were formed and relationships serum noncholesterol sterols, cholesterol and triacylglycerides, glycosylated hemoglobin and statins effect were studied. Our results show that diabetics with higher lathosterol and triacylglycerides level could be appropriate for more intesive statin therapy.
Low cholesterol absorption and increased cholesterol endogenous production are probably components of the metabolic syndrome with relatively normal cholesterol level.
