Serum vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 level were 1.517±0.078 mg/dl and 0.811±0.058 μg/ml (Mean±Standard error) respectively in diabetics, which were higher than those of healthy persons.
Serum vitamin E or coenzyme Q10 level was correlated significantly with serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids level, and coenzyme Q10 level with lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase activity. Also serum vitamin E level was correlated with coenzyme Q10 level significantly.
The relationship between these levels and age, duration, body weight, treatment, control or complications was examined in diabetics. Both levels were elevated in the groups of diabetics with high Serum urea nitrogen, low serum total protein, retinopathy or electrocardiogram abnormality.
From these results it was suggested that serum vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 possessed the correlation with its vascular complications.
