Circulatory serum lipids have been estimated in already diagnosed insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) subjects and were compared with healthy control female subjects. Clinical facility of diabetes was available at different hospitals of Lahore. Healthy volunteers were sampled out from cities of Lahore, Sialkot and Narowal. Comparisons have been made between all of the samples of diabetic population and healthy controls and also among different age groups i.e., 20-29, 30-39 and 40-49 years of both the categories. Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol concentrations were significant, 64.44%, 61.85% and 247.56%, greater, respectively, in diabetics compared to normal subjects and were also significantly increased with advancing age. Serum lipids were non-significantly lowered in diabetics than respective controls but increased significantly with advancing age. HDL- cholesterol showed no significant variations in diabetics than normal and also among different age groups of both the categories. Total cholesterol/total lipid ratio was significantly 39.44% higher in diabetics, however, HDL- cholesterol/total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratios were found to be significantly lower in diabetics compared to respective controls.
