Abstract
Erythrocytes isolated from 131 cases of NonβInsulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) were studied for lipid peroxidation, antioxidant defences, and the maximum peroxidisable substrate in the cell membrane. Antioxidant defences are lowered in NIDDM, followed by significant rise in lipid peroxidation products. However, in the erythrocyte membrane, the total polyunsaturated peroxidisable lipids are lower than in normal erythrocytes which may be a causative factor affecting the survival of the cells.

The effects of β£-tocopherol nicotinate on blood viscoelasticity and viscosity and on lipid peroxidation stress in erythrocyte membranes in patients with Type 2 DM were investigated. Thirteen Type 2 diabetic subjects with retinopathy were given β£-tocopherol nicotinate 300 mg tds, after meals, for 3 m
