Key result
Women with abnormal glucose tolerance who are offspring of type II diabetic parents had significantly elevated total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides (P≤0.02) compared to controls.
Why the study?
Are there alterations in plasma lipids in the presence of mild glucose intolerance in the offspring of two type II diabetic parents?
Observational (n=217)
Are there alterations in plasma lipids in the presence of mild glucose intolerance in the offspring of two type II diabetic parents?
p-value: p=≤0.02
Significant alterations in plasma lipids exist in women with mild, asymptomatic glucose intolerance in the early stage of diabetes, highlighting important sex differences in lipid metabolism.

Alerts clinicians to possible early lipid changes in at-risk women; leaves open causal links and need for prospective trials.
Ganda et al. (1985) conducted an observational in Mild glucose intolerance (n=217). Abnormal glucose tolerance vs. Normal glucose tolerance / normal controls was evaluated on Plasma lipids (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides) (p=≤0.02). Women with abnormal glucose tolerance who are offspring of type II diabetic parents had significantly elevated total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides (P≤0.02) compared to controls.
