[Glucose compensation, serum lipids and thyroid hormones (rT3 and rT3/T3 ratio in non-insulin-dependent (type 2)
Bollettino Della Societa Italiana Di Biologia Sperimentale

Abstract:
In 45 type 2 diabetics it was unable to be found a relation between the plasma lipids and the fasting blood glucose (G), HbA1c, reverse T3 (rT3), rT3/T3 ratio, and relative body weight (R.B.W.). The conclusion was reached that the alteration of the lipoprotein metabolism and the thyroid hormones in type 2 diabetics could be primitive and independent from the availability of the insulin.
