인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 여성환자의 혈청과 뇨중 아연 및 구리 함량에 관한 연구 = Serum and Urinary Zinc and Copper Levels in Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetic Women

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nineteen non-insulin dependent diabetic (NIDD) and 19 healthy control women participated in this study of the relationship between glycemic control and the level of zinc and copper in the serum and urine.
Urinary zinc level in the NIDD women was significantly higher(P<0.01) than that of the controls. There was no difference in serum zinc level between the two groups. All of the serum and urinary copper levels were significantly higher(P<0.05) in the NIDD women compare to control women.
In the NIDD women, urinary protein was related to serum zinc(r=0.515, P<0.05) and to 24-hr urine zinc(r=0.623, P<0.01). However, serum albumin was related to urinary zinc(r=0.570, P<0.01) in the NIDD women.
In the NIDD women, glucose control by measuring fasting blood sugar, urinary glucose and urinary protein was correlated with the urinary copper level(r=0.455, P<0.05 and r=0.515, P<0.05, r=0.511, P<0.05, respectively).
Nutrients intake were unrelated to glycemic index but, dietary fiber intake was negatively correlated with age (r=-0.593, P<0.01) in the NIDD women.
